After Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) objected on the Indian Cricket Team wearing camouflage military caps in the third ODI and wrote to ICC citing this gesture as an attempt to politicize the game, the International Cricket Council has responded stating that BCCI had taken permission to wear those caps.
The Indian Cricket Team had sported camouflage military caps in the third ODI to pay tribute to the families of the martyred CRPF soldiers in the Pulwama Terror Attack and donated their match fee to the National Defence Fund.

"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 Strategic Communications Claire Furlong was quoted to be saying by the media sources.
"They took permission from ICC for some other purpose and used it to do something else, which is not acceptable," said PCB Chairman Ehsan Mani.
Earlier, BCCI had written to the global body to "sever ties with countries from which terrorism emanates" after the Pakistan based terror group Jaish-e-Mohammed took the responsibility of the Pulwama Terror Attack.
