The International Cricket Council (ICC) has penalized Indian batsman Suryakumar Yadav for making political comments during a recent interaction. The governing body stated that his remarks were in violation of the ICC’s code of conduct, which prohibits players from making political statements while representing the sport at the international level.
While details of the penalty have not been disclosed, ICC officials emphasized that the decision aims to preserve the neutrality of cricket and ensure that the sport remains free from political influence.
This action has sparked debate among fans and analysts, with some supporting the ICC’s stance and others questioning whether players should have more freedom of expression.
