Australian cricketer Usman Khawaja is set to express solidarity with Palestinians by wearing shoes with messages during the Test match against the Pakistan cricket team in Perth. The slogans on his shoes include “Freedom is a human right” and “All lives are equal.” Khawaja confirmed his intention to wear these shoes on Day 1 of the first Test. The series will be Australia’s first at home after winning their sixth World Cup title last month. It remains to be seen whether the slogans on his shoes comply with the International Cricket Committee’s regulations on political messaging during matches.
