• Australian cricket team won the Ashes series 4-1, marking Usman Khawaja's last Test match.
• The team, led by Steve Smith, chose not to celebrate with champagne out of respect for Muslim teammate Usman Khawaja.

• Pat Cummins previously ensured Khawaja's comfort during a 2022 Ashes celebration by removing champagne bottles.
• Khawaja, Australia's 15th highest Test run-scorer with 6,229 runs, received an emotional guard of honour from England.
