Re: Moeen Ali banned from wearing Gaza wristbands
I personally think Moeen should be allowed to wear the Gaza wristbands. People can wear what they want as long as it’s not offensive to others. Just wanted to let you know that the pink SA was wearing was related to breast cancer charity funding and the red ribbons were related to funding for AIDS so it’s not really political. Glenn McGrath’s first wife died of breast cancer and he set up a charity and in Summer when the Australian cricket team plays at least one test match they wear pink. This allows sponsors to donate money for breast cancer. They also have some one day internationals where each 6 hit raises certain amount of money for breast cancer.
It would be nice to see the desi cricket teams doing something like that for a charity.
Teams from India and Pakistan have arranged a number of charity matches and have also played in a number iof them arranged by other people. I think the latest one was by afridi for raising money for IDP’s from Waziristan.
