ICC rules silence noisemakers from Celkon cricket
Cricket fans attending the Trinidad and Tobago leg of the Celkon Mobile Cup Tri Nations limited overs cricket series will have to leave their noisemakers at home if they want to gain entry to the Queen's Park Oval in Port-of-Spain.
This is in keeping with an International Cricket Council (ICC) dictate that prohibits the use of several items at match venues which can have a negative effect on the conduct of the game.
Included in the comprehensive list of items banned from the Oval in Port -of-Spain for the matches are vuvuzelas, blow horns and air horns which caused problems in Sunday's match at Sabina Park in Jamaica.
The constant noise made by the instruments, though used in support of the home team, was identified to be the cause of technical problems in the international transmission of the match.
Four matches including the final of the Celkon Mobile Cup involving The West Indies, India and Sri Lanka will be played at the Oval starting on Friday with a rematch of Sunday's thriller when the West Indies beat newly crowned world champions India by one wicket.
