Anthony Albanese, the Prime Minister of Australia, has lauded Usman Khawaja for his bravery in battling with the intention of demonstrating sympathy with those who have been affected by war during the Test series against Pakistan.

Since the days leading up to the premiere of the series a month ago, Khawaja has been actively advocating for people who are impacted by the ongoing turmoil in the Middle East. He began by writing "all lives are equal" and "freedom is a human right" on his shoes.

When Mr. Albanese addressed the Australian and Pakistani teams at Kirribilli House with his annual New Year's Day reception prior to the SCG Test on Monday, he mentioned Khawaja. The reception was held in preparation for the SCG Test.

In lieu of the original notes, Khawaja inscribed the names of his daughters on his shoes during the MCG Test, winning the approval of many current and former Test players.

"I'd like to congratulate Khawaja for the courage he has shown standing up for human values. He has shown courage, and the fact that the team has backed him in is a great thing,” Mr Albanese said.

Australia will face Pakistan for the third and last Test of the series in Sydney tomorrow. They are currently leading the series by 2-0.
