SHUBMAN GILL did a great start to his Stint as an Indian test captain in the opening match of the five tests against England in Headingley. The 24-year-old scored an undefeated 127-sixth test century, the second abroad and first in the hay-a countries released India for commanding 359 for 3 on day 1, next to Yashsvi Jaiswal, which also achieved three characters.
With these hundreds, Gill joined the elite group of Indian captains who scored the century on their captain’s debut, along with legends such as Vijay Hazare, Sunil Gavascar, Dilip Vengsarkar and Virt Kohli. Despite the beginning of the dream, however, Gill may find himself in trouble with the International Cricket Council (ICC) – not for his launching, but for his socks. A 24 -year -old man could face disciplinary measures for possible violation of ICC dressing regulations.
What is the problem with black socks?
Gill has seen black socks during his shifts on 1 day. Unlike traditional white socks that accompany the test white. This could mean a violation of ICC rules for clothing and equipment, which is governed by the instructions set by the cricket club Marylebone (MCC) – the law manager of the game.
ENG VS Ind 1. Testing Day 1 The most important
According to the clause 19.45 updated ICC regulations (effective from May 2023), players in the test matches can only allow socks to wear socks only in “white, cream or light gray”. While cricket with limited transmission allows players to wear socks corresponding to the basic color of their pants, the rules in the tests are stricter.
Will ICC punish Gill?
Whether Gill is now penalized depends on the judge’s assessment. If the violation is considered to be a deliberate level of level 1, it could be fined between 10 and 20 percent of its fee for match. However, if the violation is found to be accidental – for example, if its regulatory socks were not available or unfit to use – it is likely to avoid punishment.
Action 2. The day in Leeds
SHUBMAN GILL and RISHABH PANT will restore Indian shifts to 359 for 3, both doughs are well prepared for the fold. India will focus on earning at its strong start by adding another 200 to 250 runs in the hope of publishing an impressive sum that their superpowers are controlled against English tab.
Day 2, however, is likely to present a different challenge, and the conditions are expected to contrast sharply with the day of the sunlight. The cloudy sky, growing humidity and rain forecast could offer sailors with considerable help, making it difficult to run.
Intermittent showers are expected through the morning and afternoon sitting in Headingley, which potentially disrupts the game and tests the end of the dough
