SYDNEY: Australia on Tuesday dropped struggling batsman Usman Khawaja for the fourth Ashes Test against England at Old Trafford, making way for Steve Smith's return.
Smith has scored 378 runs at an average of 126 in three innings in the series and was back on the field in last week's tour match against Derbyshire. Harris has been retained after making eight and 19 at Headingley in his first Ashes Test then scoring 64 against Derbyshire before he was run out in a mix-up with Khawaja.Coach Justin Langer told reporters in Manchester that he was"very clear on the 12, not so sure on the 11", with the decision coming down to the bowling line-up.
Langer said losing at Headingley by one wicket after bowling out England for 67 in the first innings was a"really tough loss" for the team, but their preparations for the upcoming game had been solid.
