Australian opener Usman Khawaja questioned International Cricket Council (ICC)'s decision to deduct their crucial points in World Test Championship.
England and Australia have been docked crucial ICC World Test Championship (WTC) points for slow over-rate during Ashes Men's Test series.
"Don't even get the chance to bowl in the second innings at Manchester due to 2 days of rain and ICC still issue fines and take 10 WTC points of us for slow over rates! That makes a lot of sense," he wrote.
"Australia have been docked 10 WTC points from the recently-concluded Ashes series for a slow over-rate in the fourth Test at Old Trafford, while England lost 19 points combined for falling behind in four of the five Tests," ICC said in a press release issued on Wednesday.
"Australia were handed a 50 percent fine of their match fee (five percent for each over short with a maximum of 50 percent) for 10 overs in Manchester (fourth Test)," the statement added.
"England have been fined 10 percent for the first Test, 45 percent for the second, 15 percent for the fourth, and 25 percent for the fifth of their match fee for slow-over rate offences in the first two and the last two Tests respectively," the statement concluded.
It must be noted here that Khawaja remained top scorer in the Ashes Men's Test series. He scored 496 runs in five Tests at an average of 49.60.
