A photo of Usman Khawaja appears in the article. He faced reprimand from the International Cricket Council (ICC) for attempting to wear shoes with messages of support for Gaza during a Test against Pakistan. The messages were in the colors of the Palestinian flag and read “Freedom is a human right” and “All lives are equal.” While he was unable to wear the shoes due to ICC regulations, he displayed a black armband during the match. The ICC issued a reprimand for this breach of their regulations, stating that Khawaja did not seek approval to display a personal message. Despite his intentions, Khawaja scored 41 and 90 in the first Test, and a second Test is set to begin on Dec 26.
