ICC red cards MS Dhoni gloves: Mahi in breach of ICC rules

World Cup 2019: MS Dhoni will not be allowed to sport the army crest on his wicketkeeping gloves after the ICC turned down BCCI's request.


The International Cricket Council has turned down BCCI's request to reconsider the world governing body's objection to MS Dhoni's gloves. Dhoni had sported an army crest on his wicketkeeping gloves during India's World Cup 2019 opener against South Africa.
Soon after the ICC issued a statement, fans in India were left fuming. The ICC requested BCCI to ask Dhoni to remove the army crest from his gloves.
The Indian cricket board wrote to the ICC seeking permission to let Dhoni wear those gloves in India's next match against Australia at The Oval. However, that request has been turned down by the ICC.

The ICC responded to BCCI's letter explaining Dhoni's act was a breach of clause G1 (personal messages) as well as the logos allowed on WK gloves and as such should not be worn.

In today’s match in ICC Cricket World Cup 2019, Leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal grabbed four wickets, helping India restrict South Africa to a sub-par 227 for 9 in their opening encounter of the World Cup at The Hampshire Bowl in Southampton. South Africa skipper Faf du Plessis' decision to bat under overcast conditions backfired with Jasprit Bumrah (10-1-35-2) setting the tone with twin blows in his opening spell. Chahal (10-0-51-4) then tightened the noose on South African batsmen as they could never really force the pace during the middle overs. Incidentally, this was the best 10-over single spell (in terms of wickets taken) by any bowler in a World Cup game. South Africa's total got some semblance of respectability courtesy Chris Morris (42 off 34) and Kagiso Rabada (31 not out off 35), who shared a much needed 66-run stand for the eighth wicket. Bhuvneshwar Kumar (10-0-44-2) coming in place of Mohammed Shami was impressive in his second spell.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Virat Kohli’s India are a balanced side but WC wide open - Jonty Rhodes

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Virat Kohli’s India are a balanced side but WC wide open - Jonty Rhodes

The 2019 World Cup will be played in Round Robin format, where all 10 teams will play against each other and top four will qualify for the semifinals.

ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Virat Kohli’s India are a balanced side but WC wide open - Jonty Rhodes

India may be packed with fabulous 15 but there are no clear favourites in the upcoming World Cup, which will be wide open due to change in format, stressed former South Africa star Jonty Rhodes.
The 2019 World Cup will be played in Round Robin format, where all 10 teams will play against each other and top four will qualify for the semifinals. Rhodes said the Virat Kohli-led India has balance but it’s not something which other do not have.
“India might have the fab 15 but there are probably six other teams that might call themselves the same. There are some very strong teams in the World Cup and it will depend on the balanced 11 that they chose on the day, depending on the conditions,” Rhodes, still remembered for his exceptional fielding skills, told PTI.
India will open their campaign against South Africa on June 5 at Southampton. “India have got a lot of experience too. Even young players like (Jasprit) Bumrah, is one of the more experienced death bowlers, so from that point of view India will be fancing their chances but there are six other sides, top six.
“And I am not even talking about West Indies, who are ranked seventh. They have started to play decent 50-over cricket again and there is no team that can go into any match of the tournament as favourites. So every game is important, you need those points. The change in format has made it really wide open,” opined Rhodes.
The 1992 World Cup was also played in Round Robin format but in that edition, nine teams had competed with Pakistan emerging champions in England. “I want to see more associate countries play in the World Cup, but as a spectator you are seeing the best players on the world stage and that is going to mean that every game is important,” Rhodes said.
The South African was speaking after conducting a fielding session for Namo Bandra Blasters, who will take part in the second edition of the T20 Mumbai League, at the Bandra-Kurla Complex here. The tournament starts at the Wankhede Stadium from May 14.
For India, all rounder Hardik Pandya will be an important cog in the wheel and Rhodes believes that the Baroda all-rounder will have to quickly adjust to the 50-over format.
“Hardik Pandya’s role is really important because he is coming as a batsman and a bowler and he has got the knack of taking wickets. But the key is that he needs to quickly adjust because in a T20 game you can face seven balls and bowl may be two overs and make a difference.
“But in a fifty over game if you are going to finish a game, you might have to bat from 35 overs, so that is going to be the difference. And he (Hardik) has got the temperament, he backs himself and he just has to know that he has a job to do (and) it’s not about one helicopter shot. It is (about) taking a game through like a Virat Kohli and finishing the match for India,” said Rhodes.
Rhodes, whose run-out of Inzamam Ul Haq in the 1992 World Cup is still remembered, also delivered a motivational speech during the fielding session.
