LONDON: England will join West Indies in wearing a"Black Lives Matter" logo on their shirts during the three-match test series, the England & Wales Cricket Board said on Thursday.
ECB chief executive Tom Harrison said the move to display an anti-racism message supported"progress and societal change" and did not extend to being an endorsement of any political organisation. "This moment is about unity. We are proud that our players will stand alongside those from the West Indies and wear a logo that embodies that philosophy."It is fitting that they do so in solidarity with athletes from the football world who wore it first."
