SOUTHAMPTON — England’s Moeen Ali has been warned by cricket chiefs not to wear wristbands declaring support for the people of Gaza again during international matches.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
But the International Cricket Council (ICC) said Ali would face no disciplinary action on this occasion after being warned about his future conduct by match referee David Boon.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Worcestershire all-rounder Ali wore wristbands during the third Test match against India on Monday that read "Save Gaza" and "Free Palestine", while batting during England’s first innings at the Ageas Bowl in Southampton.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
The conflict in Gaza is entering its fourth week, with the Palestinian death toll passing the 1,100 mark and 56 people losing their lives on the Israeli side.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Ali’s gesture led the ICC to say they were investigating his conduct and a spokesman for the global governing body said on Tuesday: "The ICC equipment and clothing regulations do not permit the display of messages that relate to political, religious or racial activities or causes during an international match.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
"Ali was told by the match referee that whilst he is free to express his views on such causes away from the cricket field, he is not permitted to wear the wristbands on the field of play and warned not to wear the bands again during an international match."</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Ali, a Birmingham-born practising Muslim of Pakistani descent, was photographed recently helping raise funds for Gaza relief efforts in his home city in central England.</div>

Ali’s wristbands were only on public display for 42 minutes on Monday while he made 12 runs off 28 balls before he was caught off India seamer Bhuvneshwar Kumar. On Monday, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) insisted they had no issues with Ali’s conduct. "As far as we are concerned, he has not committed any offence," an ECB spokesman said, adding it was up to the ICC to decide what action, if any, Ali should face.</div>

Meanwhile, other cricketers expressed their support of Ali on Twitter. "Absolutely love this! Well done Moeen bro! Keep showing your support! #Pray4Gaza" wrote former England cricketer Ajmal Shahzad.</div>

"Good on brother mo! #prayforGaza" wrote Lancashire and former England bowler Kabir Ali, Moeen’s cousin.</div>

"We have always worn wristbands or ribbons when showing support 4an incident or raising awareness, we do it for animal rights too, y not humans," wrote former Pakistan all-rounder Azhar Mahmood on Twitter.</div>

Before play began on the third day of the third Test yesterday, players and officials stood to observe a minute’s silence in memory of all those cricketers who fought and lost their lives in the First World War, a hundred years after the start of that conflict.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Droid Serif', serif; font-size: 1.1em; line-height: 1.4em; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px;">
Meanwhile, the England players also wore shirts with the logo of Help for Heroes, a charity that assists wounded British armed forces veterans, stitched into the collar.</div>

The question of what kinds of protest are permissible at sporting events has long been a thorny topic, with the Gaza conflict not just an issue for cricket.</div>

On Friday, Malaysian cyclist Azizulhasni Awang was warned he risked being thrown out of the Commonwealth Games if he repeated wearing gloves bearing the message "Save Gaza". Awang could have been ejected from the Glasgow Games after wearing the gloves last Thursday. Instead he was given a reprimand and warned not to wear them again.</div>

Though Awang said his message was "humanitarian" rather than politically charged, he issued an apology.</div>

Salzburg police said on Thursday around 20 people with flags and 
placards, mostly Austrians of Turkish origin, stormed the pitch shouting
 slogans about the Gaza conflict, in which more than 700 Palestinians 
have been killed and thousands displaced.<br />

Police said there were clashes with the players from Maccabi Haifa, 
which was playing a friendly against Lille in Bischofshofen in Salzburg 
province, but no one was injured and police were quickly able to calm 
the situation.<br />

The provincial office for the protection of the constitution is investigating.<br />

Austria’s chancellor condemned the violence.<br />

“Guests who are staying in Austria have the right to do so in safety,
 regardless of their origin and religion,” Werner Faymann said in a 
statement.<br />
