Government bans tricolour on Indian Kit

[bharat]

The Indian Governmen has banned the use of Indian tricolour on the Cricket Kits & helmets.

This means India can no longer use the kit they currenty use.They have been using this for about 4 years.

Sachin Tendulkar has said that using tricolour is a symbol of patriotism.
The Government does not think so.It feels no one else except the Government itself can use the tricolour.

I think this is a stupid move by the government.

Horrible move!! Sad to hear this. I think all this is related to the stance taken by the BCCI that they are not 'Team India' but 'Team BCCI'

 

[T20]

yeah I think so too..that's sad

That is lame........if they can't have the tricolour then whats the point? At this stage, I believe India should be stripped of international status until the BCCI stops running the INDIAN cricket team

No offence, but that is a pretty silly statement. National teams are always run by the national governing body of the sport.

It's the Indian government who have decided this, not the BCCI.
