MS DhoniThe controversy has prompted passionate responses from both ruling and opposition politiciansThe International Cricket Council (ICC) has asked India's Mahendra Singh Dhoni to remove an army insignia from his wicketkeeping gloves, forcing New Delhi to weigh in after a nationalistic furore in the country. The ICC said its clothing and equipment rules allow only manufacturers' logos on gloves, and that Dhoni or the Indian team had not sought any permission to sport the badge. Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi's nationalist government on Friday urged the country's cricket board (BCCI) to sort out the matter. The BCCI said it has already written to the world governing body for cricket seeking permission for Dhoni to sport the insignia. Fawad Chaudhry, a federal minister in Pakistan, said Dhoni was in England to play cricket, not for any war.
