"What I've written on my shoes is not political. I'm not taking sides. Human life to me is equal. One Jewish life is equal to one Muslim life is equal to one Hindu life and so on. I'm just speaking up for those who don't have a voice."

"The ICC have told me I can't wear my shoes on the field because they feel it's a political statement under their guidelines. I don't believe it's so. It's a humanitarian appeal. I will respect their view and decision. But I will fight it and seek to gain approval," said Khawaja in a video posted on his social media accounts.

Later on, Cummins had said that Khawaja will not wear the shoes and messages in question during the Perth Test. "I spoke to him just quickly and (Khawaja) said he won't be (wearing the shoes with messages). It kind of drew the attention to the ICC rules which I don't know if Uzzie was across beforehand.

"On his shoes he had 'all lives are equal'. I think that's not very divisive. I don't think anyone can really have too many complaints about that. I think it's one of our strongest points in our team is that everyone has their own passionate views and individual thoughts and I chatted to Uzzie briefly about it today and I don't think his intention is to make too big of a fuss, but we support him. I think what was on the shoes, 'all lives are equal', I support that," he concluded.
