Use Of Placards For Captains 'Should Not Happen': Sunil Gavaskar

Former India captain and batting great Sunil Gavaskar expressed reservations about England using placards to send messages from the coaching staff to the captain during a match. England skipper Eoin Morgan could be seen communicating with the team's main analyst during their T20I series against South Africa and the 2019 World Cup winner later defended the move.

Morgan said that he had got the match referee's permission before going through with the move but Gavaskar questioned if the referee himself had discussed the matter with the International Cricket Council (ICC) before agreeing to it. "I would like to know if the match referee had confirmed this with the ICC? Did they ask ICC? Has the cricket committee of the ICC sanctioned this, we don't know this yet," said Gavaskar on the Star Sports show Cricket Connected.
