Usman Khawaja<\/a> has slammed crowd behaviour in the Ashes<\/a>, declaring "I wouldn't want my kids to be around that" as the aftermath of Lord's continues.<\/p>\n

The opening batsman was subject to abuse in the second Ashes<\/a> Test after Alex Carey's stumping of Jonny Bairstow, and notably took exception to comments<\/a> made by the crowd.<\/p>\n

"I wasn't going to stand by and cop it, so I just talked to a few of them," Khawaja told Nine<\/em> post-Test. <\/p>\n

"A few of them were throwing out some pretty big allegations and I just called them up on it."<\/p>\n

Since, the incident at Lord's, three MCC members were suspended<\/a> after the club released a lengthy statement apologising to the Australian team.<\/p>\n

\ufeffAhead of the fourth Test at Old Trafford, Khawaja criticised the England fans, but also called for Australia's crowds to behave better when England tour in 2024-25.<\/p>\n

"I mean, they're rough. If you talk about it to England guys, they say we are equally as rough when (they go to Australia). I don't agree with it either way," Khawaja said.<\/p>\n

"I don't think it's the right thing to do. Personally if I am coming to the cricket and watching the cricket, I wouldn't want my kids to be around that.<\/p>\n

\"Tensions<\/p>\n

"If I saw that, I would 100 per cent make a complaint or just leave. I think some of the stuff can be pretty poor. Over at Edgbaston they were calling Travis Head a C-U … you know what. I can't believe you can actually say that in a public domain anywhere."<\/p>\n

Khawaja added the closeness of the crowd \ufeffplays a factor, with the incident in the Long Room at Lord's heightened by the immediate proximity between players and members.<\/p>\n

\"Chappell<\/p>\n

"MCC are all over it. I trust them to do the right thing," he said.<\/p>\n

"I know watching a lot of sport and loving sport that it happens around the world. You watch the NBA, it happens there.<\/p>\n

"Particularly when crowds can get real close to you, which they can in cricket. It is what it is, I don't agree with it. I have been doing it my whole life, it doesn't bother me. And if it does, I will let them know."<\/p>\n
