Before the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan, which starts on December 26, the ICC rejected Usman Khawaja's latest attempt to show solidarity with the victims of Palestine in Gaza. The veteran Australian opener is still making headlines. During a Sunday training session, the left-hander noticed something on the back of his bat and the right shoe: an image of a black dove holding an olive branch. During the first Test in Perth, the 36-year-old had intended to wear shoes bearing the phrases "All lives are equal" and "Freedom is a human right," but the ICC forbade the same.
