As Australia touched down in Pakistan for a full-fledged tour for the first time in 24 years, it was a special homecoming for Usman Khawaja. 

Khawaja was born in Islamabad on December 18, 1986, before his family emigrated to Sydney, 4 and a half years later. 

Khawaja visited Islamabad during a four-week family visit in the early 1990s when he was 6 years old. He is now back in Pakistan with his Aussie teammates as the visitors hope for a memorable series.
