Sydney: Usman Khawaja is on track to recover from a hamstring injury in time for Australia`s traditional Boxing Day test in Melbourne, where they face West Indies in the second test, the batsman said on Wednesday.
Khawaja`s spot was taken by Shaun Marsh for the third and final test in Adelaide and he was omitted from the 12-man squad for the first test against West Indies in Hobart from Dec. 10.
"I should be training at full pace next week. It`s about getting work into my legs after that," Queensland captain Khawaja told local media.
"If they (selectors) want to pick me they will pick me - I just have to put my hand up and make sure I am fit."
Khawaja will hope to make an impression with selectors when he plays for Sydney Thunder in the domestic `Big Bash` Twenty20 tournament.
Australia, who defeated New Zealand 2-0 in the test series, play the third and final match against West Indies in Sydney in the New Year.
