Australia opener Usman Khawaja expressed his massive disappointment after that infamous incident happened on the field and at the Lord’s Long Room following Englishman Jonny Bairstow‘s controversial dismissal by wicketkeeper Alex Carey during the final day of the second Ashes Test. England fans were infuriated at the Lord’s, and there were chants to degrade the Aussies as well as chants of abuse.

Khawaja, at lunch, was walking back to the pavilion along with some other Aussie players. But three members of the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) allegedly abused Khawaja leading to a war of words. Recalling that incident, Khawaja said he wouldn’t want to take his kids to watch a match around such an atmosphere.
