"Sometimes You Just Gotta Laugh": Usman Khawaja's 'Double Standards' Dig At ICC

Usman Khawaja took to social media to take a dig at the International Cricket Council (ICC) amid the controversy surrounding the governing body's decision to not allow him to sport a 'symbol of peace' on his bat during the second Test match between Australia and Pakistan in Melbourne starting December 26. The Australian cricket team opener earlier wanted to wear shoes that had the messages “all lives are equal” and “freedom is a human right” during the first Test in support of the victims who suffered as a result of the Israel-Hamas conflict. ICC denied that request from Khawaja and later, when he asked for permission to sport the 'dove' symbol on his bat, his request was once again denied.
