Australian PM applauds Khawaja's courage amid ICC stand-off

Australia's prime minister, Anthony Albanese, has praised cricketer Usman Khawaja for his courage in displaying messages of equality and freedom during the Test series against Pakistan. The ICC barred Khawaja from displaying a dove logo and an olive branch on his shoes due to regulations against personal messages on uniforms. Albanese expressed solidarity with Khawaja's gesture and acknowledged the Australian and Pakistan teams' support for the opener. He congratulated Khawaja for standing up for human values.
