England cricketer Moeen Ali has been told by the International Cricket Council that he can no longer wear his “Save Gaza” and “Free Palestine” wristbands while playing for his country.

Ali has also been seen raising funds in his hometown of Birmingham for the victims of the ongoing massacre of civilians in Gaza.

Despite not telling England he would wear the wristbands during the third Test against India on Monday, the England Cricket Board (ECB) were prepared to let the all-rounder continue to show his support by wearing the items while playing.
