I think this is a reasonable point and probably is an example of a common bias favouring batsmen...however (unlike spinners v quicks on Indian wickets where the contrast is obvious) I'm not sure if a few innings is a reasonable basis on which to assess a batsman as being suitable or not for those conditions. I think Khawaja is quality and could perform well on those decks all else being equal.
Including tour matches and A matches, Khawaja has now played 16 first class innings in Asia and passed 50 once.
He was also hopeless against Swann in those prepared wickets in 2013.
