According to the report of Nine.com.au, Usman Khawaja said, “If it is so then I am retiring.” According to me this is not the right (option). The red ball is very different. I play white ball. I play pickup ball and they all react differently. But there is nothing like red ball. But I do not make laws nor do I make those rules.
