“The ICC has answered to the BCCI to substantiate the emblem displayed through MS Dhoni within the earlier tournament isn’t authorized to be worn on his wicket-keeping gloves on the ICC Males’s Cricket International Cup 2019,” the ICC remark issued in 2019 learn.
In a similar fashion, in 2014, the ICC banned English cricketer Moeen Ali from dressed in “Save Gaza” and “Unfastened Palestine” wristbands whilst taking part in for England.
The BCCI must additionally remember of Rizwan’s remark and be sure that international cricketers who’ve come to India for the 2023 International Cup don’t finally end up exploiting the cricketing platform to hawk person agendas and categorical sympathy for terrorists who killed masses of civilians in Israel. The Indian govt must additionally step in and bring to the Pakistan Cricket Board that their cricketers should chorus from politicising the game whilst being in India for an ICC tournament. Rizwan must be made to apologise for politicising the International Cup and requested to tug down his publish.
