Opener highlights other cricketers who have displayed symbolsAustralia captain Pat Cummins reiterates support for Khawaja
Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja has accused the ICC of double standards for rejecting an application for him to display a peace dove on his bat in the Boxing Day Test to raise awareness for the humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The ICC charged the opener on Thursday for wearing a black armband during the first Test for breaching equipment regulations barring players displaying personal messages at international matches supporting “political, religious or racial” causes. Khawaja said the armband was for a “personal bereavement”.
