Khawaja wears black armband as Australia pummel Pakistan in Perth

Australian batsman Usman Khawaja wasn’t allowed to wear shoes branded with his “all lives are equal” humanitarian message, so he wore a black armband instead on Thursday on Day 1 of the series-opening cricket Test against Pakistan.

The International Cricket Council intervened on Wednesday after Khawaja indicated he planned to wear shoes during the match that featured messages to highlight the loss of lives in the Israel-Hamas war.
