Usman Khawaja's ICC reprimand for wearing black armband in support of Gaza

He believes that the ICC has not been consistent in implementing their regulations and will ask for fairness and consistency. The ICC charge carries a potential reprimand, but even if penalized, it would not affect Khawaja's participation in the upcoming Boxing Day Test.
