Usman Khawaja to challenge ICC reprimand over black armband

Khawaja said the black armband he wore in the Perth Testagainst Pakistan was for a "personal bereavement" and he would contest the ICC's reprimand. The Pakistan-born opener has been reprimanded by the ICC for wearing the armband during the 360-run win over Pakistan in the Perth Test, after he was prevented by ICC rules from displaying the messages 'Freedom is a human right' and 'All lives are equal' in the colours of the Palestinian flag on his boots.
