Australia’s Usman Khawaja wore shoes marked with his daughters’ names as he batted against Pakistan, after being banned from wearing references to the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, AFP reports.
A close-up photo of the 37-year-old’s shoes showed the names of Khawaja’s daughters Aisha and Ayla taped to the side of his footwear during the opening day of the second Test in Melbourne.
Khawaja, who was out for 42, had been denied permission by the International Cricket Council (ICC) to have a sticker showing a black dove holding an olive branch on his bat and shoes during the match.
The logo, which he displayed during training on Sunday, also had the words 01:UDHR – a reference to Article One of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights – written on it.
