There is no question of breaking ICC's norms and there is nothing patriotic and nationalistic about it, it's just his personal message that's all. We will go by ICC norms. We just don't want to go against any norms, we are a sporting nation," he said.BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) had on Friday wrote to the ICC seeking permission which was subsequently turned down by the top cricketing body.
