Indian players donned donning army caps during their third One-Day International (ODI) match against Australia on Friday as a mark of tribute to the loss of lives in Pulwama terror attack. But Pakistan Minister Fawad Chaudhry has asked the International Cricket Council (ICC) to take action against the Indian men's cricket team for politicising the game by donning army caps.

Chaudhry took o Twitter and wrote, "It`s just not cricket”. the Information Minister told The Dawn that by wearing the caps, the Indian team has politicised the Gentleman`s Game.

The minister urged the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to lodge a formal protest against India with the sport`s world governing body ICC.  Chaudhry further said, if the Indian team does not stop wearing the caps, the Pakistan team `should (also) wear black bands to remind the World about Indian atrocities in (occupied) Kashmir.”

Earlier, The BCCI had, in fact, also said that every year during any ODI game, the Indian team would be donning the army caps as a mark of respect for the armed forces. 

The development came as Pakistan and India reeled from two weeks of high tension following the Pulwama terror attack in whick 40 CRPF Jawans were killed. Terrorist group JeM took the responsibility of the attack.
