World Cup 2019: ICC turns down India’s request to allow Dhoni, to wear army insignia on his gloves
ICC has turned down India’s request to allow MS Dhoni to wear army insignia on his gloves.
The ICC statement said: “The regulations for ICC events do not permit any individual message or logo to be displayed on any items of clothing or equipment.
In addition to this, the logo also breaches the regulations in relation to what is permitted on wicketkeeper gloves.”
ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney on Friday refused to comment further on the ‘Balidan badge’ row, stating that the cricket governing body’s statement to BCCI ‘clarifies the matter’.
“We have given the statement to BCCI and that clarifies the matter,” Sawhney told ANI when asked about the ongoing controversy.
