Khawaja said, “I hate to talk about the decision I have taken… the toughest decision I have taken as a cricketer because Sydney Thunder, the players, the coaching and support staff, and the club’s supporters are my friends. It means a lot to him.” He has always described himself as a ‘proud Westie’, a statement said.

“However, it is for family reasons, and when I am leaving, the people who know me who feel a big part of my heart will always be with the Thunder.

“I don’t want people to think that I have broken my ties with Sydney Thunder because I will always care about the club, the players, the whole organization.
