Usman Khawaja Forced To Remove Black Dove Sticker From His Bat Against NZ
Unfortunately, during Australia's second innings on Saturday morning, Khawaja fractured his bat. The thirty-six-year-old had to remove the decal of the dove clutching an olive branch before he could continue his batting while Matt Renshaw hurried onto the field with an extra bat.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected Khawaja's request to wear the dove during the Test series against Pakistan, calling it a "political protest." Despite this, the Queenslander has continued to wear it during his net sessions. Despite this, Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley and Test captain Pat Cummins have pledged their full support to the player, who was born in Islamabad. The veteran was again censured by the apex body of the sport when he wore a black armband during the series opener against Pakistan.
