ICC rejects BCCI's appeal to allow Dhoni's insignia gloves

The International Cricket Council has vetoed BCCI's persistent attempts to allow MS Dhoni to sport the insignia gloves in the ongoing ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 in England and Wales.

The ICC confirmed that the logo displayed on Dhoni's wicket keeping gloves in India's first World Cup match against South Africa is an infringement of the laws of the game.

The ICC's rules and regulations prohibit individual messages and logos on sporting gear and attire during any ICC event.

Furthermore, it is also an infringement of the regulations regarding the content allowed to be displayed specifically on wicket keeping gloves.

MS Dhoni's set of wicket-keeping gloves in the World Cup game against South Africa in Southampton, sporting the Army's dagger insignia, seem to have triggered quite a storm after it was spotted on camera.

The ICC was swiftly involved, issuing a directive to the BCCI to ban Dhoni from wearing the gloves.
