He wore a black armband during the first Test in Perth and tried to wear shoes with messages supporting human rights before being stopped by cricket authorities.The cricketer was prevented from reading “Freedom is a Human Right” and “All Lives Matter” by Cricket Australia and ICC, which was “All Live Matter” on his shoes during the Boxing Day Test against Pakistan at MCG.“It’s just a little disappointing. I really don’t see the controversy. [saying] All life matters and freedom says that there is a human right, “Khwaja said about the shoe incident.“I don’t see that it becomes political … I am difficult to accept that people find out what I have said.“This is a little bit for an emotional rollercaster, I think … I will always stand to believe it, even if people don’t agree with me or I don’t like to say it.”“I want to see my career back and say, look, I was standing for my values, I respect what I did on the field, but for what I did for what I have done, I respect myself … it means more to me.”
