SLICKR392 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Top England cricketer Moeen Ali faces probe after wearing 'Free Palestine' and 'Save Gaza' wristbands 'that may breach dress code' as he bats against India 'Approval shall not be granted for messages which relate to political, religious or racial activities or causes.’ The English Cricket Board (ECB) said that Ali did not ask for permission to wear the wristbands. Ali, a practising Muslim of Pakistani descent, wore the black-and-white bands on his wrist as he batted for England at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton. He was pictured this week raising funds for the victims of the conflict in Gaza with the Ummah Welfare Trust in Small Heath, Birmingham. The body’s code reads: ‘Players and team officials shall not be permitted to wear, display or otherwise convey messages through arm bands or other items affixed to clothing or equipment unless approved in advance by the player or team official’s Board. The ECB spokesman added: ‘We do not believe Moeen has committed an offence.’ http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2708669/England-cricketer-Moeen-Ali-wears-controversial-Save-Gaza-wristband-bats-against-India.html Link to comment

ECB defends Moeen's 'Save Gaza' wristband - http://www.espncricinfo.com/england-v-india-2014/content/story/765187.html The body’s code reads: ‘Players and team officials shall not be permitted to wear, display or otherwise convey messages through arm bands or other items affixed to clothing or equipment unless approved in advance by the player or team official’s Board. They are wristbands not attached to clothing or equipment. Besides in the article above ECB said it had no problem with it. Link to comment

panther Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Bloody pakis, no place for beards in cricket. Link to comment
Austin 3:!6 Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Bloody pakis' date=' no place for beards in cricket.[/quote'] That is not true and has nothing to do with beard. Amla has beard and he is very well respected cricketer all around the world. This is because he keeps his religion and faith away from cricket pitch. What Moen did today was unnecessary as there was no point of mixing politics with cricket. This is the difference between Amla and other bearded cricketers (MoYo, Moeen Ali etc.). Maybe Amla's Indian blood has something to do with him being the sensible one. Link to comment
goose Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 i tell you what. that beard has booked his place in the Eng side. the English appreciate confident displays of one's background. it's the ones that try to fit that fall by the way side. Link to comment
