Usman Khawaja charged over black armband in support of Gaza - BBC Sport

Australia opener Usman Khawaja has been charged by the International Cricket Council for wearing a black armband in support of civilians in Gaza during the first Test against Pakistan.

Khawaja did not wear shoes bearing the words "all lives are equal" and "freedom is a human right" in Perth, as he had in training.

The ICC deemed him in breach of its clothing and equipment regulations.

Extract 1: It took the Independent Commission for Equity in Cricket two years of exhaustive research to conclude there is an elitist and exclusionary culture at the heart of the game in England. Had Cindy Butts and her fellow commission members been at Lord’s on Sunday, they could have taken five minutes to come to much the same view.

The title of their report published last month, Holding up a Mirror to Cricket, neatly sums up what members of the Marylebone Cricket Club – the self-appointed guardian of the rules and spirit of the game – unwittingly did when they abused the Australian team from inside the Long Room.

Extract 2: Footage from the Long Room shows that whatever was said in heat of those spiteful short moments stopped [Usman] Khawaja in his in tracks. Where most Australian players shrugged or laughed off the abuse as they continued on to the dressing room, Khawaja confronted his hecklers with the same calmness he brings to a seaming pitch.

He later explained to Nine’s broadcasters that he was more disappointed than angry. “Lord’s is one of my favourite places to come,” he said. “There is so much respect shown at Lord’s, particularly in the member’s pavilion and the Long Room, but there wasn’t today.

Extract 3: This is the third time that Khawaja, the Muslim son of Pakistani immigrants and, according to former Australian captain Ricky Ponting, “probably the nicest man that’s ever walked on the planet”, has copped the worst of England.

During the first Test at Edgbaston, when he was dismissed after a match-winning innings of 141, the foul-mouthed send-off he received from Ollie Robinson was jarringly out of place. Robinson was unapologetic for his actions, saying those who couldn’t handle an earful in an Ashes series, couldn’t handle much.

After the match, Khawaja’s faith became fodder in a broader culture war, when nationalist politician Nigel Farage questioned why the Australians didn’t douse themselves in alcohol in victory. “Once again the Australian cricket team do not celebrate in champagne style because one of the team members is a Muslim,” Farage tweeted. “Are we all to suspend normal life because of the minority?”

Usman Khawaja Backs Glenn Maxwell for T20 World Cup Impact Despite IPL Form

Despite Glenn Maxwell’s recent struggles in the Indian Premier League (IPL), Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja is confident in Maxwell’s ability to shine in the upcoming T20 World Cup. Khawaja believes Maxwell’s form in the IPL is irrelevant when it comes to his performance for the national team.

IPL Form Doesn’t Matter

In a conversation with the West Australian, Khawaja emphasized Maxwell’s proven track record: “The IPL form is absolutely irrelevant. Maxy’s proven himself time and time again. Any player who’s performed over a long period understands that you can’t perform well every time you go out there.”

Khawaja pointed out that T20 cricket, especially for middle-order batsmen, is challenging and that Maxwell just needs one good innings to regain his confidence: “If he gets one good innings, he’s away. It doesn’t matter what’s happened in the past. He’s not going to change his game and nor should he. Just keep going. He’ll find it.”

Maxwell’s IPL Performance

Maxwell had a tough IPL season, averaging only 5.77 from nine innings and scoring just 52 runs in 10 matches. His team, Royal Challengers Bangalore, was eliminated by the Rajasthan Royals in the Eliminator, with Maxwell scoring a duck in that crucial game.

Players on a Break

Currently, Maxwell is on a break along with Pat Cummins, Travis Head, Marcus Stoinis, Mitchell Starc, and Cameron Green after the grueling IPL schedule. These players are set to join the national team for the T20 World Cup.

Australian Team Preparations

In preparation for the T20 World Cup, the Australian team had to improvise during a warm-up match against Namibia due to the absence of key players. Selection chief George Bailey and fielding coach Andre Borovec stepped in to help, along with batting coach Brad Hodge and head coach Andrew McDonald.

Despite these challenges, the Australian team, the 2021 T20 World Cup champions, showcased their strength by chasing down Namibia’s total of 119/9 with 10 overs remaining, thanks to a quickfire half-century from David Warner (54*).

Upcoming Matches

Australia’s next warm-up match is against the West Indies on May 31. The team will begin their T20 World Cup campaign on June 6 against Oman, followed by matches against archrivals England on June 9, Namibia on June 12, and Scotland to finish the group stage.
