Veteran Peter Lalor taken off air by SEN during first Test in Sri Lanka‘Standing up for the people of Gaza is not antisemitic,’ says Khawaja
The Australian opener Usman Khawaja has said the cricket writer Peter Lalor “deserves better” after he was dropped from radio coverage of Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka for his social media posts relating to the war in Gaza.
Lalor, the longtime chief cricket writer for The Australian who has appeared on SEN radio coverage for 10 years, revealed he had been dumped during the first Test in Galle in a message to subscribers of his Cricket Et Al substack on Monday night. “I figured, at some point, there would be an attempt to take me down and it has happened,” he said.
