Texy Posted May 25, 2018 Share Posted May 25, 2018 source As per the ICC's Player and Match Officials Area Regulations, wearing smart watches is prohibited on the field and areas designated as player and match official area [PMOA]. An ICC release on Friday confirmed that such devices must be surrendered, along with mobile devices, upon arrival at the ground on match days. "The ACSU officer came to speak to us and told us it's not allowed to wear them so we won't be wearing them," Hasan Ali said after the day's play. Garuda 1 Link to comment

G_B_ Posted May 26, 2018 Share Posted May 26, 2018 I got to say these pakistanis are experts at bending the rules. They can communicate with the world with a smart watch. UrmiSinhaRay 1 Link to comment
Zero_Unit Posted May 27, 2018 Share Posted May 27, 2018 Not that I own an apple watch or anything but i find this ban ok. You have to be in a certain range to even connect to your phone/cloud/wifi to get msgs and what not. Some does come with sim card options but i dont think apple gives you that option on their smart watches. But the ban does make sense. sarcastic and UrmiSinhaRay 1 1 Link to comment
