Quite an interesting article covering his press conference where he announced his retirement. Very sad in a lot of ways.

Treated unfairly but owns several multi million dollar houses in some of the richest postcodes in the world…

Can’t stand him me. On the last Ashes over here he was twisting all of the time. Nasty fans, ball changes, not going for drinks it was always him twisting on. I quite like a lot of the Aussie players Head and Starc seem great blokes and the likes of Hazlewood, Boland, Cummins, Carey as well but khawaja is hard to warm to.

Gone full race card mode. Treated so badly he's a multi millionaire whose represented Australia so many times.
it’s worth listening to the actual press conference, there is a TMS pod about it.

Haven't read the article but he's been finished for about 12 months and this has been rightly highlighted in the press.

WTF does that have to do with any of what he said? You didn’t listen to the interview did you?
It’s excellent. People would do well to hear his actual words and also those of Bharat Sundharesan (sp?).
Are victims of racial abuse exempt from being able to make money like? Horrific false equivalence from you that. Not remember all the racial abuse suffered by Saka and Rashford following Euro 2020? I don’t remember them being forced into bankruptcy as a result

Just think he's going on ridiculous. Just my opinion. Entitled to his opinion I guess, doesn't mention his brother much though does he?Are victims of racial abuse exempt from being able to make money like? Horrific false equivalence from you that.

Had a great career to be fair to him.

Regardless of whether anyone agrees with him or not, its incredibly sad he feels the way he does.
I find it odd that people think they’re qualified to talk about it as they are, surely no one here has followed his life that closely.
The quip about his brother probably sums up what he means.

Have you ever been the victim of racial abuse? Have you ever been a minority in a community?
Walk a mile in the blokes shoes before you judge the ridiculousness (or otherwise) of his behaviour.

So that’s the end of conversation, no one can have an opinion? The people’s champion is beyond reproach

It’s always western nations that are bad and have to have inclusive societies isn’t it? I bet you he’s had a far better life growing up in Australia than he would have had if his parents had remained in Pakistan.
Wonder what would happen if I moved to Pakistan and stated I’m a proud Christian before demanding they become more inclusive. My head would end up on a pike somewhere I’d imagine.
