Usman Khawaja: Black Armband in First Test Meant for Personal Tribute, Not Political Promotion; ECC Issues Reprimand
The 36-year-old wore an armband during the team's 360-run victory in Perth, which was initially seen as a gesture of support for people in Gaza due to the Israel-Hamas conflict.
Cricket Australia has decided not to show support for Gaza through Khawaja.
The cricketer from Pakistan planned to wear boots with the messages "Freedom is a human right" and "All lives are equal," written in the colors of the Palestinian flag during the match at Perth Stadium.
