“The regulations for ICC events do not authorize any individual message or logo to be displayed on any items of clothing or equipment. In addition to this, the logo also breaches the regulations in relation to what is permitted on wicketkeeper gloves,” it added.
During India opening World Cup game against South Africa in Southampton, Dhoni green keeping gloves had a dagger logo printed, which looked more like an Army insignia.
The rule-book allows for only one sponsor logo on the wicket-keeping gloves. In Dhoni case, he already sports an SG logo on his gloves.
