But when team play for the country, then prestige of the nation has to be kept in mind.”He further added, “I would like to request BCCI to take up the matter with International Cricket Council (ICC), if necessary inform the government accordingly.” ICC had asked BCCI to get Indian Army symbol removed from MS Dhoni's gloves.
