Australian PM Lauds Courageous Khawaja For Standing Up For Human Values
Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese: Australia Prime Minister Anthony Albanese commended Usman Khawaja for "showing courage" in advocating for victims of conflict and "standing up for human values" during the ongoing Test series against Pakistan.
During Australia’s first Test against Pakistan at Perth, Khawaja has attempted to display messages calling for an end to the war in Gaza including an image of a dove holding an olive branch with a reference to the UN’ Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and slogans such as "all lives are equal".
The International Cricket Council (ICC), however, barred Khawaja from displaying these messages on his shoes or bat. The opener eventually taped over the messages written on his shoes and sported a black armband while coming out to open the batting alongside David Warner. But the ICC charged him for breaching clothing and equipment regulations with the black armband he wore instead.
