MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Usman Khawaja's bid to reclaim his spot in Australia's top order for the Boxing Day test against West Indies is back on track after the batsman was passed fit to play in the domestic Twenty20 competition.

Khawaja missed the West Indies series-opener in Hobart and the third and final test against New Zealand in Adelaide last month after suffering a hamstring injury against the Black Caps in Perth.
