Remove Indian Army Insignia From MS Dhoni's Gloves, ICC Asks BCCI

The days when cricket is not politicised are long gone. Let's not even pretend.
 
"The ICC equipment and clothing regulations do not permit the display of messages that relate to political, religious or racial activities or causes during an international match."

Since the Army is not a political or religious organization, no rule was broken.

BCCI should ask for a clarification from ICC on which rule is being violated.
Didn't BCCI control ICC? Whatever happened to that. Let's see how BCCI responds to this.

ICC has to be fair. That's all - if there is a rule, it must be adhered to. If there isn't, no point making one up. The bombastic news anchors can shout themselves hoarse but rules must be followed and if followed must be implemented universally.

You're right. India has become junta-fied by Modi and his private army.


Modi rerferred to Indian military as his. IA is political.
Nonsense - Indian Army is as far from politics as it should be in any democracy. No coups or military takeovers.
 
Indian team should now boycott the world cup. Please leave UK in next available flight to Dehli. :pop:
 
If Dhoni doesn't remove insignia I expect Sarfaraz's gloves to contain the Markhoor sign. Let's add some fuel to the fire.

Indians cannot refrain from politicizing everything. It always has to be about them. They have to be at the center of attention.

By NOT overthrowing a man who has been involved in an act of mass murder and violent illegal destruction of a place of worship and triggering a riot between the citizens it is sworn to protect, then I declare that the Indian military is politicised and had been since Hindutva came to power. The Indian military and indeed the judiciary have chosen to allow a criminal - who in case you forgot was declared so and banned from entry by numerous western powers until recently - to acquire the highest seat in the land of India. This passive acceptance of a terrorist as PM is in itself a crime and represents politicisation of India's executive arms. Checks and balances that would have stopped Modi in ANY functional democracy have failed. Indian military is as guilty as the voters who brought him to power.
 
Pathetic nation, always politicize every thing ... Indian Army is raping and killing innocent people in Kashmir and dirty disgusting Indian cricketers will wear their symbol .. ICC should ban the whole team
Now say it once without crying. ..

Dawn article today:
"BCCI responded by sending a formal request to the ICC, stressing the logo was “not the paramilitary regimental dagger that is embossed on his gloves. So Dhoni is not in breach of ICC regulations.” "

So BCCI are denying it is a military insignia, if I read that right. Just dwell on that. Dhoni has deliberately put a military insignia on his gloves to draw attention to and I guess to attract misguided support for his specific military attachment....and the BCCI's best defence of his actions is to DENY THAT IT IS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE MILITARY. BCCI - at least have the guts to stand by your class clown. Conversely, if whatever that symbol is doesn't actually represent the military regiment in question, why is Dhoni even pretending to have the guts to display a military insignia on his gloves?? Whadda class clown.

shameful...bcci denies their own army's insignia! I guess after the pathetic, piss-poor performance of the indian military, one can't blame them for disowning the indian insignias...I mean come on, they couldn't even protect their own chief of army staff, the only reason he survived is cuz WE aimed for the open grounds!!!

Why do Indian institutions propagate lie after lie after lie though, in a desperate attempt to push a certain narrative or objective through? When one lie undermines one of the other lies, it collapses the thread and makes the whole nation look dumb. It's like the cascade of lies they indulged in after Pulwama. Do they not understand this makes them look amateurish? I thought Indians were an intelligent and cunning enemy but alas, everything they have achieved is through sheer weight of numbers. When billions of bhakts propagate a cascade of lies, you can't simply laugh it off. India is unique in this way.

Haha masterclass Dhoni again.

Its not even a Military sign!!!

Just trilled a bunch of whiners and got their panties in A twist.

Dhoni like a boss again!
So he trolled his own military and his own nation and you're happy? Billions of bhakts trended those hashtags because they believe he was displaying a military logo. Your country got trolled. Thanks for illustrating the "India has numbers but not brains" theory.

well said. there is a reason why no one in the world takes anything from the indian government or its indian media mouth pieces seriously. everyone knows that they'll lie through there teeth over and over again to cover the previous lies and hence, they are just not worth paying any attention to. heck, even zimbabwe's media probably carries more credibility than anything from the indians! :lol:
 
If Dhoni has 0.0000001% patriotism he will stand up to his insignia proudly and will say okay if its against the rule fine i won't wear it shame on BCCI on denying that it's not logo

its not about having patriotism bro, it's about having a backbone, a spine. but the indians with dhoni included are as spineless as it gets!
