Do you agree? Players should be able to sport whatever they want unless it is not offensive. How is this violating any rule? It is Dhoni's employer and he is sporting it on the glove.

Who are you to decide whether it is a offensive or not? What if Taliban supporters for Afghanistan wish to embrace their badge? Military symbols should be kept away from the field.

[maniac]

Yes.  Agreed and no it’s not because is about dhoni.  Mourning martyrs like Pulwama is different but not this.

ICC shud concentrate on important things 

• weight of the bails
• Poor umpiring in WI vs Aus game

Pakistani bros must have complained about it.

[ViruDilSeKhelo]

ICC should be told to f*** off. They need our money anyway so should be made aware of that. Mahi is also a lieutenant.

Solidarity with Gaza is banned. This is part of his regiment.

Common man empowered with  common sense.

[Cricketics]

We all know who would have complained about this.

Must have been due to typical Randi rona from Pakistan ,these kiddos cried foul when we wore the military caps .

Carry on wearing the same !

[maniac]

What are the ICC rules? Is Indian army a sponsor? 

 

I am all for supporting army and showing your patriotism. However if ICC steps in within the rules it is fair.

 

Its a different debate if Pakistanis went crying and complaining 

[Franco Vazquez]

Tbh army or any other political affiliation should be kept away from cricket. As someone said, What if Afghan players started wearing stupid Taliban symbols or Pak players started wearing Kashmir terrorists or other extremist organistions symbols?

First of all Dhoni didn’t fight in the borders, he shouldn’t be colonel. He’s a damn good sportsperson but that’s about it.

Agree. Keep military and political affiliations away from cricket.

Military caps were a different thing where they paid homage to Pulwama martyrs..

I hope they can do that military cap thing again. That was top class from BCCI. 

[Lannister]

Hope they ban him from the tournament and we can get Pant in.

No Political, Religious  messages to be displayed. No sponsors' rivals' company  logos. But Dhoni is not violating any such rule. If Pakistanis are offended, let them be. BCCI should tell ICC it is beyond their jurisdiction. Hum aaye hain, ussi se khus raho!

I think Harbhajan was a DSP or something. This is just ceremonial and not to be taken literally.
