Gaza wristbands banned

ENGLAND’S Moeen Ali has been warned by world cricket chiefs not to wear wristbands declaring his support for the people of Gaza during international matches. Ali wore wristbands during the third Test match against India on Monday that read “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine” while batting during England’s first innings at Southampton.

The conflict in Gaza has claimed 1,100 Palestinian lives and 56 Israelis. “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 said.
