Usman Khawaja was forced to remove a dove sticker from his bat on the third day of the New Zealand vs Australia 1st Test 2024 in Wellington, on March 2. Khawaja's bat had developed a crack during the third day's play and Matthew Renshaw came onto the field with a new one. However, this new bat had a dove logo on it and Khawaja had to remove it after a controversy had erupted over the same during Australia's Test series against Pakistan at home earlier. Earlier, the International Cricket Council (ICC) had turned down Khawaja's request to sport a dove and olive branch sticker on his bat with the opener wanting to raise awareness about the humanitarian crisis in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
