Usman Khawaja Wears Black Armband In Perth Test After Ban Over Wearing Shoes With Messages
With Australia electing to bat first, Khawaja taped over the messages written on his shoes and sported a black armband while coming out to open the batting alongside David Warner. On the black armband, Cricket Australia said, “He is wearing it in solidarity and respect per his Insta post yesterday.”
Khawaja was spotted with messages like ‘all lives are equal’ and ‘freedom is a human right’ written on his shoes in Australia’s practice session. On Wednesday, CA had released a statement over Khawaja’s intention to wear shoes with the humanitarian messages, saying, “We support the right of our players to express personal opinions. But the ICC has rules in place which prohibit the display of personal messages which we expect the players to uphold.”
