London: England test cricketer Moeen Ali has been banned from wearing his “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine” wristbands and will face punishment if he does so again in international cricket.
The Pakistan-origin all rounder caused controversy Tuesday when he was photographed wearing the bands during the third test match between England and India being played at Southampton in England, which drew attention to the current conflict in the Middle East, which has led to the deaths of more than 1,000 Palestinians and at least 40 Israelis.
The England and Wales Cricket Board were happy for Moeen to continue to express his views via the bands but the International Cricket Council has taken a different view. Moeen was told on Monday night by match referee David Boon to remove the wristband and never to wear them again when playing for England.
An ICC spokesman said: “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. ICC is controlled by India, England and Australia.
Only filth is allowed …rest all are banned…?
