'Indian team was allowed to wear military cap at ODI' | 
March 12, 2019
NEW DELHI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has clarified that the Indian
team was granted permission to wear camouflage military caps at the Ranchi ODI
against Australia. Pakistan had taken objection.
“The BCCI sought permission from the ICC to wear the caps as part of a fundraising
drive and in memory of fallen soldiers who have died, which was granted,” ICC’s
general manager Claire Furlong said in a statement.
The Indian team sported the military caps at the ODI as a mark of respect
to the armed forced, especially in the context of the Pulwama terror attack
on CRPF personnel that killed 40 jawans.
The Indian team donated the match fee in the third ODI played in Ranchi on
March 8 to the National Defence Fund.
The Pakistan Cricket Board had written to the ICC demanding action against
India for wearing the camouflage caps. “They took permission from ICC for some
other purpose and used it to do something else, which is not acceptable,” PCB
chairman Ehsan Mani had said.
