ICC rejects BCCI request, says no to MS Dhoni sporting 'Balidaan' insignia on his gloves

[Maarkhoor]

The ICC said that the regulations for ICC events do not permit any individual message or logo to be displayed on any items of clothing or equipment.

LONDON: The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Friday rejected Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI's) request to allow former skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni to wear the 'Balidaan Badge' or regimental dagger insignia of the Indian Para Special Forces on his wicket-keeping gloves.

Rejecting BCCI's request to allow Dhoni to wear the badge, the ICC said that the regulations for international 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 wicket-keeper gloves.
As per ICC, this kind of messages cannot be displayed in any ICC multinational tournament like World cup, T20 World cup or Champion's Trophy.

But but BCCI ruled over ICC.

So much noise and muscle flexing on social media. LOL at entire India supports Dhoni. Now let's see how much self-esteem Indians have. Are they going to quietly accept ICC dictation or are the Indians actually going to demand that Dhoni wear the insignia. Big test for Hindustan.

I expect Hindus to lie down quietly and accept ICC verdict.

Indian pride is at stake here. If Dhoni doesn't wear the insignia in the upcoming match India shall be mass shamed and ridiculed. That is the price you pay for hyperbole nationalism.

Heights of making massala curry out of everything.
Dhoni decided to wear and insignia, which didnt comply to the norms of ICC fully because the insignia has close relevance to an army unit with Dhoni is part of. BCCI went ahead and gave its reponse to ICC in regard to same that its not the army insignia.

Meanwhile since insignia is related to army, the patriotism wave took ride on media where people started justifying it and with world cup highs everything gets hyped up.

Come to PDF, the fart theories goes 1000s times, from government pushing the military might agenda to Modi's actions to what not. It makes no difference if Dhone puts up a green underpant or a bhagwa underpants, what matters is how well he performs when the duty is called for under the given rules and regulations. His personal choices matter only in his personal life, in his professional matters he has to go by the rules of the profession.

First, I hope he does.

Second, if he does and gets away without penalty it will set a precedent for others.

ICC and India find themselves in a precarious predicament.

For Modi loving Indians this issue has become one of national priority. Indian ministers have issued statements and supported Dhoni. That is how sensitive the issue is.

This is madness, India should boycott the worldcup. This is against indian nationalism and pride. #DhoniKeepTheGloves

LOL you just downplay your embarrassment as always.

You know very well how deeply hurt Modi army in India is by ICC verdict. You have Indian politicians and ministers issuing Hindu fatwas against ICC.

Don't make me post them here to add to your embarrassment.

Such a shoddy example. Stop diverting the topic. None of the things you have mentioned have any relevance with the glove affair of Dhoni.

Cheating in sports versus politicizing sports are two different things. There is a day and night difference.

Besides, if we go by your example every country has produced some sort of cheating moment in the game. Shall I start naming them all by alphabetical order per country?

If you can just name who was first to get life ban, imprisonment for cheating and corruption in world cricket, that would be more than enough.

And politicizing sport? Is that insignia related to any indian political party???
Smell weed, coffee wont help...

You are still diverting the topic.

Cheating and politicizing sports are two very different things. Learn to differentiate.

Clearly Dhoni has mixed politics with sports and ICC has for a good reason intervened.

Don't tell me you are above the ICC. Don't argue with me when the international cricket council has called out Dhoni. I am merely supporting ICC stance so stop shooting the messenger.

You want to argue like a headless pig? Argue with ICC.

And you put your head in shit...
How did Dhoni has mixed politics with sports?
ICC intervened as per law which doesnt allow players to endorse any symbol thats outside the framework of endorsements.

What ICC did is right, otherwise who knows other wise out of rage tomorrow someone might come up with ISIS on there uniform.

And we know when and where to use power...remember PCB compensation case
