The Indian team has started a great start in the first match of the five -Test series against England. On the first day of the match, captain Shubhman Gill and Yashwi Jayaswal- both stars have scored the team score with great centuries. However, on the first day of the Test, captain Shubhman Gill seems to have had a big problem even after scoring a century. The International Cricket Council (ICC) can take great action against him, because Gill has violated a major ICC rule. For this he may be fined a large sum.
Gill broke any rules?
Team India’s new captain Shubhman Gill Headingle has also made his captaincy in the Test. But he is sitting on a big mistake. When he went down to bat, he went to bat wearing black socks instead of white socks, where there are rules for wearing white socks in the Test match. This rule has been implemented on the recommendation of the Marylebon Cricket Club (MCC), setting the rules of cricket. Now Shubhman Gill may have to face the ICC’s anger to violate the rules of the clothing code.
What do the rules say about black socks?
According to the ICC Rule 4.1, a player should wear white clothes during the Test match, wearing cream or light brown socks, but auspicious gill wearing black socks, which is beyond the ICC rules. This rule was implemented in May 2021.
Will Gil be fined?
The match referee will decide to impose a fine on Shubhman Gill. If Headingle Test Referee Richie Richardson noticed the matter and considered it a deliberate level 5 crime, then Shubhman Gill may have to pay about 5 to 20 percent of the match fee as a fine. However, if Gill’s decision is accidentally or because he does so because his white socks are wet, he can avoid punishment. However, it depends on the match referee. In addition to Gill, many players have previously violated the dress code.
KL Rahul and Chris Gayle also broke the rules
During the Test match in India vs Afghanistan in the 21st, KL Rahul was found wearing a helmet in compliance with the ICC rules. For this, Rahul had to pay a fine of 5 percent of his match fee. Former West Indies Cricketer Chris Gayle used the black bat during the Big Bash League during the Big Bash League, which was against the ICC rules. So Gil had to pay a 5 percent fine.
Imam ul Haq and Joe Route were also punished
During the match in England and Pakistan in the World Cup, the ICC fined Pakistan opener Imam ul Haq for the use of unauthorized logo in advertising. He was fined 5 percent of his match fee. Also, England batsman Joe Root had to pay a 5% fine to wear a rainbow jersey to support the LGBTQ+ community in Test match against India in 2021.
