Sydney ashes test

Wales Cricket Board: Former England spinner Monty Panesar has reacted to Usman Khawaja’s remarks on racism in Australian cricket by stating that he never faced racial discrimination during his international career and always felt strongly supported by his teammates and the England and Wales Cricket Board.

Khawaja, who announced that he will retire from international cricket after the final Sydney Ashes Test, has hit out at racial stereotypes in Australian cricket, claiming he has been treated differently across his career.

"Thankfully, I never faced any racial discrimination while playing for England. I always received strong support from the team and the board. They were very supportive," Panesar told IANS when asked about his reaction to Khawaja exposing racism during his emotional press conference on Friday.
