Reprimanded For Wearing Black Armband Made No Sense To Me: Usman Khawaja
International Cricket Council: Australia batter Usman Khawaja, bewildered by the International Cricket Council's (ICC) decision to charge him for wearing a black armband during the Perth Test against Pakistan, has stated the "decision made no sense".
Khawaja wore a black armband during Australia's 360-run victory in Perth, defying the ICC's move to ban his premeditated shoe protest.
The controversy unfolded against the backdrop of a personal bereavement, as Khawaja passionately defended his right to express his beliefs on the conflict in Gaza. The 37-year-old cricketer, known for his elegant left-handed strokes, had been charged by the ICC for breaching guidelines related to clothing and equipment regulations.
