Player Story

Usman Khawaja, also known as ‘Uzzy’ and ‘King Khawajy’, is the Captain of both the Brisbane Heat and Queensland Bulls. Uzzy and his wife Rachel have two young daughters and love calling Brisbane home for the laid-back lifestyle and warm weather. Outside of cricket, Uzzy is also a qualified pilot and is currently studying his MBA at Bond University…talk about an over achiever! Besides cricket, Uzzy loves all kinds of sports from tennis, golf, to the F1, but nothing excites him more than the NBA. He even called his much-loved Cavalier King Charles puppy Lebron, named after his favourite player!

We acknowledge and pay respect to our First Nations people and Traditional Custodians of the land and waters where we are privileged to live, work and play. We recognise and celebrate their spiritual and ongoing connection to culture and country. We respectfully acknowledge all elders past, present and emerging as we continue to cherish shared wisdom and grow with their guidance as we walk together toward a connected country.

Brisbane Heat’s indigenous artwork was collaboratively designed by WBBL player and proud Kunja woman Mikayla Hinkley and Brisbane Indigenous artist, Delores McDonald (“Aunty Delly”).

The centre circle represents the Gabba, alongside other water holes which used to be near the ground. 87 black strokes on red earth represent the wickets taken by Aboriginal great, Eddie Gilbert who played 23 games for Queensland.
