Despite Cameron Green’s ‘chucking’ gesture, Usman Khawaja defends Pakistan bowler – ‘Stigma is real’

Usman Khawaja backed Pakistan spinner Usman Tariq after Cameron Green’s “chucking” gesture sparked debate. Khawaja urged restraint, saying Tariq was cleared twice and asked critics to “stop jumping to conclusions.” Tariq explained his action stems from a biological elbow issue and stressed he is not throwing. Tariq remains a key part of Pakistan’s T20 World Cup plans.
