CoA chief Vinod Rai said the dagger insignia was not against ICC regulations since it isn't a military symbol, and said Dhoni will keep wearing the gloves.
Pakistan said India was politicising cricket after the team wore military caps during the third ODI against Australia in tribute to the CRPF jawans killed in the Pulawama attack.
The BCCI is being urged to ask the ICC to ban Pakistan from participating in the World Cup cricket tournament for harbouring Jaish-e-Mohammed, which carried out the Pulwama terror attack.
