Dhoni shelves his old gloves

Hobart: The gloves worn by India captain and wicketkeeper batsman Mahendra Singh Dhoni at the start of the Australian innings at the SCG on Sunday have been found to be in violation of the laws of the game. Subsequently, Dhoni has agreed not to use the same gloves again.

On-field umpires, Daryl Harper and Tony Hill, third umpire Bruce Oxenford and Match Referee Jeff Crowe concluded that Dhoni’s gloves, in violation of Law 40.2, had extra webbing between the thumb and the index finger.

Explaining the ruling, Crowe said: “After I raised my concern in the India dressing room, Dhoni immediately agreed to change the gloves on the advice of the team management, which was a reasonable thing to do.”

The Match Referee revealed that Dhoni has not been penalised on this occasion. “But he has been advised that if he uses the gloves again before they have been modified, inspected and cleared, he could be charged for a breach of Clause C1 of the Code of Conduct.” — Special Correspondent
