After Rejection Over Sporting Dove Logo, Usman Khawaja Calls Out ICC’s ‘double Standards’
International Cricket Council: After the International Cricket Council (ICC) rejected Usman Khawaja’s request to put a dove sticker on his bat and shoes during the upcoming Boxing Day Test against Pakistan, the veteran opener has now called out cricket’s global governing body over its ‘double standards.’
The black dove logo on Khawaja’s back of the bat on his right shoe was accompanied by a reference to article one of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights: “All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.”
Khawaja had been cleared to sport logos of a black dove holding an olive branch by Cricket Australia and the Australian Cricketers Association in the Test starting December 26, but it was rejected by ICC, citing that the logo would lead to a breach of the clause F in the "Clothing and Equipment Regulations" in its Playing Conditions.
