DUBAI: Cricket fans from all around the world are giddy with anticipation and ready to give it their all as the ICC Champions Trophy reaches its zenith in Dubai. Wait, though, because Dubai Cricket Stadium has other ideas.
Cricket mania was accompanied with a complex (and somewhat comical) rulebook. Let’s get started on this crazy journey of dos and don’ts.
Please don’t bring politics home!
Large signs reminding fans that cricket is a game and not a political rally have been erected at ticket booths and in public parking lots close to the stadium to ensure compliance. “Leave political ideas, slogans, posters, and banners at home!” is the unambiguous warning.
Officials have also released a list of prohibited products in consideration of fan enthusiasm.
