In response to the International Cricket Council's (ICC) ban on his "all lives are equal" shoes, Usman Khawaja, the Australian cricketer, exhibited solidarity with Gaza by wearing a black armband during the first cricket test against Pakistan. Although complying with the ICC's ruling to avoid sanctions, Khawaja expressed his disagreement, emphasizing his belief in the equal rights of all individuals. He clarified that his intention was not political but aimed at advocating for those without a voice, emphasizing the equal value of all human lives.
