U\ufeffsman Khawaja<\/a> has revealed one day he'll likely expose what was said in the Lord's Long Room during a heated exchange with members<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The Australian side was subject to abuse from MCC members after Alex Carey stumped Jonny Bairstow in controversial circumstances<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Khawaja notably stopped and confronted people hurling abuse \ufeffand described the situation as a "mob mentality".<\/p>\n

"They were all just at us and some of the things being said, some of the things the members were doing physically, I never thought I'd see that," he said on Nine's Today<\/em>.<\/p>\n

"I couldn't believe some of the stuff they said."<\/p>\n

\"What<\/p>\n

The opening batter added there's \ufeffa chance he could reveal the full story in the future.<\/p>\n

"It might come \ufeffout in my book one day, but up until then I think it's not worth it," he said.<\/p>\n

Khawaja started the Ashes off with a century at Edgbaston, leading to Australia's first win of the series.<\/p>\n

The 36-year-old celebrated bringing up the ton with a loud cheer, halting the support of a loud boisterous Birmingham crowd.<\/p>\n

"That's got to be the loudest crowd I've been part of it, they're in unison, they're just very well coordinated, they're all loud at the same time," he said.<\/p>\n

\"Raw<\/p>\n

The opener's successful Ashes series continued his resurgence in the baggy green\ufeff after being recalled in 2022.<\/p>\n

In his returning year, Khawaja scored 1080 runs at 67.50 while in 2023 he's so far hit 1037 at 54.57.<\/p>\n

Runs at the back end of his career is part of an up and down rollercoaster, having struggled to cement his spot since debuting in 2011.<\/p>\n

Khawaja explained the passing of Phil Hughes in 2014 gave him a new perspective on the sport.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"\ufeffHughesy passing away (was a shock), a close friend to a lot of the boys, especially the boys that played in NSW, we all grew up playing (with him) and off the back of that was the first time I learnt to probably love the game again and respect the game," he said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Australia's next Test series will be against Pakistan, starting on December 14 at Perth.<\/p>\n

The three matches will then be followed by a two-game series against the West Indies.<\/p>\n

Khawaja's close friend and opening partner David Warner has flagged this summer will be his last in the Test cricket arena, but Khawaja gave no hints on his future. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"I don't know … I'm really enjoying my cricket at the moment and I actually don't know when the expiry date is," he said.<\/p>\n

"If I'm enjoying it, the \ufeffsky's the limit for me."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
