Two planes flew over Headingley Stadium in Leeds during India’s World Cup match against Sri Lanka on Saturday, with banners of 'Justice for Kashmir' and 'India stop genocide & free Kashmir' attached to their tails.

It was the second instance when a plane flew over the stadium with some political messages in World Cups. A plane with banner 'Justice for Balochistan' flew over the same ground on June 29 during Pakistan’s match with Afghanistan.

"We are incredibly disappointed this has happened again. 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. After the previous incident we were assured by West Yorkshire Police there would not be a repeat of this issue, so we are very dissatisfied it has happened again,” an ICC spokesperson said on Saturday's incident.

The ICC even responded to the earlier incident, saying they wouldn’t overlook political messages being spread during the World Cup.

"We work with local police forces around the country to prevent this type of incident occurring and were assured that given Headingley is under the flight path for the Leeds Bradford Airport it would not be an issue," an ICC spokesperson had said.

He further added, "We do not condone any sort of political messages at the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup and will work with West Yorkshire police to deal with and understand why this has happened and to ensure it does not happen again."

The earlier incident led to ugly brawls between the fans of two nation, in the Afghanistan-Pakistan match.
