ICC Denies Cricketer Usman Khawaja's Request to Show Solidarity with Gaza

Khawaja Accuses ICC of Double Standards, Garnering Significant Support

Usman Khawaja, an Australian cricketer, has been denied permission by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to display a dove of peace on his bat in solidarity with Gaza.
Khawaja accuses the ICC of double standards, pointing out that other players have been allowed to display political and religious messages in the past.
Khawaja had previously been reprimanded by the ICC for wearing a black armband in a test match against Pakistan, which he said was for a personal bereavement.
The ICC Code of Conduct forbids players from displaying messages related to political, religious or racial causes without prior approval.
Khawaja's attempts to show solidarity with Gaza have garnered significant attention and support, including from Australia's sports minister, Anika Wells.
