Usman Khawaja became the most successful Test batter of 2022 for Australia. Piling up 1080 runs in 20 innings of 11 Tests, he also became the third-leading run-getter of the previous year. In March 2022, Australia visited Pakistan after almost 19 years for a three-match Test series, three One-Day Internationals (ODIs), and a T20 International (T20I).

Throughout the Test series, Khawaja played aggressive cricket and became the leading run-scorer with 496 runs in five innings of three Tests. In the final Test of the series, the southpaw scored 91 and 104 in his team’s colossal 115-run win. For his blockbuster batting performance in the competition, he also received the Player of the Series award.

The Aussie veteran proved his potential again in the Test series against South Africa in January 2023 at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). During South Africa’s tour of Australia in 2022-23, the 36-year-old scored 195 runs in the first innings of the third Test and became the Player of the Match.

In the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2022-23, Khawaja again proved himself with his fine batting performances. With the help of the opener's 60-run knock in the first innings of the third Test, the Aussies bagged a nine-wicket victory.
