A few protests grew in Pakistan related to Indian Cricket team's gesture to wear camouflage caps during third ODI between India and Australia at Ranchi. ICC had to come forward to clarify that BCCI did ask for their permission to do so. The gesture was intended to mark respect 44 CRPF jawans who sacrificed their lives in the Pulwama terror attack.
Indian cricketers did not just sport camouflage military cap to support the jawans, they also donated their match fee for the welfare of the martyrs' families.
ICC issues a statement said, "The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had requested permission from ICC CEO Dave Richardson on Thursday to let the players participate in a charity fundraising effort and wear army caps with the BCCI crest in memory of the fallen soldiers." ICC even cited similar gestures by cricketers during the annual 'Pink Test' at Sydney (held to spread awareness about breat cancer for a few years now) and the 'Poppies' in England.
Pakistan Foreign Minister Shah Mehmood Qureshi told the Pakistan media, "The world saw that the Indian cricket team wore military caps instead of their own, did ICC not see this? We think that it is the iCC's responsibility to take notice of this without the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) bringing it up." Pakistan has demanded the ICC to take note of the Indian cricketers' gestures at Ranchi and accused Kohli's team of politicising the game.
