Australian cricket superstar Usman Khawaja has no plans for retirement just yet but when he does, he has a luxury apartment on the Sunshine Coast he could easily call home.

“There are some things that are out of your control, like how the body’s going,” Mr Khawaja explained. “It’s also how the mind is. Are you able to go to competitive training every day? The hard yards that you did 10 years ago, are you still doing that?”
“I’m still really enjoying the games, I don’t really have a finishing line. “It’s not about what age I’m at, it’s more about the factors, if one of them drops off, then I’ll think maybe it’s time.
