India captain Shubman Gill might land into trouble after the right-hander was found violating the dress code on the first day of the opening Test match against England at Headingly in Leeds. Gill, who succeeded as the Indian Test captain after Rohit Sharma retired from the longest format of the game, was spotted earing black socks.
Although it looks to be a small factor but there are certain rules that a cricketer has to abide when it comes to clothing, including socks. However, it is still unclear what sort of sanction the Indian captain Gill will be getting, if given any.
What does ICC rulebook say regarding socks?
According to the ICC's Player Clothing and Equipment regulations, under article 19.45, black socks aren't allowed in cricket. For Test matches, the cricketer has to wear socks that are “white, cream or light grey” in colour. As far as ODIs and T20Is are concerned, socks of colour “white, cream or light grey or the same colour as the base colour of the playing trousers” are allowed.
Richie Richardson, who is the ICC match referee for the ongoing first Test between India and England, will make the final call on Gill's breach in dress code.
