England cricket player in trouble for ‘Save Gaza’ wristband
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleEngland cricketer Moeen Ali risks disciplinary action after the International Cricket Council (ICC) said Monday they are “investigating” his decision to wear wristbands in support of Gaza during the ongoing third Test match against India on Monday.
Ali wore wristbands that read “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine,” while batting during England’s first innings at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.
An ICC spokesman told AFP: “We’re investigating and will report in due course.”
The England and Wales Cricket Board has yet to comment on Ali’s gesture.
The 27-year-old Ali, a practicing Muslim of Pakistani descent, was photographed earlier this week helping raise funds for Gaza relief efforts in his home city of Birmingham in central England.
