Twitter ban for World Cup playersPlayers and officials have been barred from using Twitter during World Cup matches as a precautionary measure against possible corruption, the International Cricket Council has said.
The move to bar team managers, along with players and coaches, from tweeting follows a suggestion from the Anti-Corruption and Security Unit of the governing body. "During matches, team managers are not permitted to use Twitter on their phone," the spokesman said on Wednesday.
"The players can't use Twitter on phone anyway because they don't have phones during matches. It's just the team manager's phone, nothing else. It is only during the matches [that they cannot tweet]. Before or after the matches are fine. It's being done only as a precaution."
