When Pakistan-born Usman Khawaja made his Test debut in 2011, he became the first Muslim cricketer to wear the baggy green.
His journey to the top levels of Australian cricket was not an easy one and he often felt he didn't fit the mould but by the end of his career he had the confidence to speak out about racism and other issues close to his heart.
Unbeaten is the remarkable story of an immigrant who made it to the top on his own terms.
