Right after the match ceremony, Muhammad Rizwan tweeted:
This was for our brothers and sisters in Gaza. 🤲🏼
Whereas, Vikrant questioned ICC if this tweet was allowed. He remembers Dhoni was asked to remove the Army insignia from his gloves during the World Cup 2019. He further questioned, aren’t cricketers prohibited from making political and religious statements during ICC events?
The ICC asserts that it falls outside the realm of play, beyond their jurisdiction. It’s a matter for the individual player and their cricket board to decide. Sportsmen are entitled to have opinions. Let’s refrain from turning everything into a contentious matter. Cricket has to be won or lost on the field.
