SOUTHAMPTON: England cricketer Moeen Ali risked disciplinary action after the International Cricket Council (ICC) said Monday they were “investigating” his decision to wear wristbands in support of Gaza during the ongoing third Test match against India on Monday.

Ali wore wristbands that read “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine,” while batting during England’s first innings at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.

An ICC spokesman said: “We’re investigating and will report in due course.” The England and Wales Cricket Board have yet to comment on Ali’s gesture.

The 27-year-old Ali was photographed earlier this week helping raise funds for Gaza relief efforts in his home city of Birmingham in central England.

Ali’s wristbands were only on public display for 42 minutes while he made 12 runs off 28 balls before he was caught off Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
