    International Cricket Council: Australia cricketer Usman Khawaja has vowed that he would fight and seek the approval of the International Cricket Council (ICC) after he was not allowed to wear shoes which was written in favour of the people of Gaza during Australia’s first Test match against Pakistan starting at the Optus Stadium on Thursday.

    The messages on Khawaja’s shoes were noticed at Australia’s training session by photographers and reporters in Perth. As per the ICC conditions, there are strict rules about wording or logos worn on clothing during international cricket matches. In 2014, Moeen Ali had been banned from wearing wristbands which had ‘Save Gaza’ and ‘Free Palestine’ written.

    "What I've written on my shoes is not political. I'm not taking sides. Human life to me is equal. One Jewish life is equal to one Muslim life is equal to one Hindu life and so on. I'm just speaking up for those who don't have a voice."
