Usman Khawaja says he expects his hamstring to receive a searching test on Sunday when he makes his return from injury for the Sydney Thunder.
Khawaja has missed the past two Tests with a hamstring strain and must prove himself fit in the Thunder's Big Bash League (BBL) clash with the Melbourne Stars if he is to be included in the Australian XI for Boxing Day.
The top-order batsman said he was confident of being ready to take on the West Indies at the MCG from next Saturday and expected to know exactly where he stood following Sunday's BBL hitout.
