Khawaja plays for Sydney Thunder in the Big Bash League since 2011. In BBL05, he was the second highest run scorer (345 runs) and averaged 172.50 runs per match.
Khawaja signed a contract to play for county side Derbyshire in the 2011 English domestic season. He played in four County Championship matches, averaging 39.87 with the bat and scoring a century (135) against Kent.

He was dropped from Australia's Test team after the home series against New Zealand, making way for Shaun Marsh upon Marsh's return from injury.
