252. Is Player Activism a problem in Cricket?

Hi there! Welcome to Episode 252 of Never on the Backfoot Podcast. In this episode, we unravel the controversy surrounding international cricketer Usman Khawaja's recent attempt to use his platform for a cause close to his heart. The spotlight is on the International Cricket Council (ICC) as they reject Khawaja's application to display a dove logo on his gear, intended to raise awareness for humanitarian issues. As we navigate through the episode, we reflect on the ICC's seemingly divergent approaches, contrasting their support for the Black Lives Matter movement with the denial of Khawaja's initiative. On the podcast today for this discussion, we have Gaurav Nandan Tripathi. The Podcast is also available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify for Podcasters, Google Podcasts, Spotify, and many other platforms and spread the word.
