An ICC spokesperson said,
“Usman displayed a personal message (armband) during the first Test match against Pakistan. Its display requires prior permission from Cricket Australia and the ICC, as required under the rules for personal messages. This is a breach under the category of “other breach” and is a punishment for the first offence.
Even before this, Usman Khwaja had done such a thing:-
Let us also tell you that Khawaja had earlier displayed the slogans “Freedom is a human right” and “Life is equal for all” on his shoes. The ICC warned him that possible sanctions could be imposed on him if he continued to wear shoes with these messages. After this, Khawaja covered the messages with tape but came to the field on the first day of the Test with a black band on his left arm.
