Indian wicket-keeper-batsman MS Dhoni will not be able to wear the India Army insignia on his keeping gloves during the Cricket World Cup 2019 as International Cricket Council (ICC) has turned down Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI)'s request for the same.

After BCCI intervened and requested ICC to allow Dhoni to wear the insignia, the apex body on Friday came out with a statement, denying the request.

According to the statement released by Claire Furlong, ICC General Manager (Strategic Communications), Dhoni is not permitted to wear the logo during the World Cup matches.

On 5 June, during India's first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2019 against South Africa, Dhoni was captured by the camera lenses wearing the 'Balidaan Badge' of the Indian Para Special Forces on his gloves. The matter went to ICC, which stated that sporting such logos was not allowed to be worn on the field, requesting BCCI to ask Dhoni to remove the badge.
