It is the best New Year gift any cricketer can dream off, as he set to become one of the richest player in the game. He is not an Indian but an Australian and that too not a famous player. He is Australian top-order batsman Usman Khawaja.
The left handed top order batsman is all set to become one of the richest as he will be next two-million dollar superstar.
The 29-year old Pakistan-born player will be earning 1-1.5 million dollars after his new contract list is confirmed in April by Cricket Australia.
Cricket Australia termed him as an inspiration to the next generation and wanted to see more people from the heritage and culture of Khawaja to play for Australia in the coming future.
The left handed had also been planning to play in the 2016 edition of Indian Premier League (IPL) and to sign various other sponsorship and marketing deals.
Khawaja, has been in and out of the Test team due to prolonged injuries.
