LEEDS, England - Geopolitics resurfaced at the Cricket World Cup on Saturday when political messages were flown over Headingley during India’s final group game against Sri Lanka.
The Sri Lankan innings was into its first hour when a plane moved over the stadium with a “Justice for Kashmir” message. A second message was towed across the venue, though it could not be ascertained if it was done by the same plane. “We do not condone any sort of political messages at the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup. Throughout the tournament we have worked with local police forces around the country to prevent this type of protest occurring.”
During India’s chase, a plane towing a “HELP END MOB LYNCHING IN INDIA” message circled the stadium before disappearing.
