English batsman Jos Buttler faces a reprimand from the International Cricket Council after an offensive message written on his bat was caught on camera.
During day three of England's Test against Pakistan, television cameras picked up the words 'f**k it' written on the top of Buttler's bat.
And although social
media users found the message hilarious, Buttler now faces potential punishment from the ICC, who state all "personal messages" must be approved in advance by the governing body in accordance with the clothing and equipment rules and regulations.
Buttler, who revealed that he marked each of his bats with the same words, said the message served as a reminder to enjoy the game and not put too much pressure on his performances.
