Cummins Expresses Solidarity with Khawaja Despite Ban on Dove Symbol
Cummins supports his teammate’s right to have strong beliefs despite the ICC denying Usman Khawaja an opportunity to display the symbol of a dove on his gear during the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan. Khawaja has been vocal about the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and previously breached ICC regulations by wearing unauthorized phrases and a black armband. Cummins expressed his support for Khawaja’s respectful actions while acknowledging the ICC’s authority and ruling. The Australian team has rolled out an unchanged line-up for the Boxing Day Test and are being viewed as hot favorites after their dominant victory in Perth. Pakistan is set to make at least two changes ahead of the match. Test matches in Melbourne have moved quicker in recent years, and the Australian captain believes the weather will not significantly impact the game. Both teams are preparing for an exciting match, with Pakistan determined to challenge the world-champion hosts.
