Why are India and England players wearing black armbands on Day 1 of Edgbaston Test?
India and England cricketers are sporting black armbands on Day 1 of Edgbaston Test. They are paying tribute to ex-England and Northamptonshire batter Wayne Larkins, who passed away aged 71. Larkins played 13 Tests and 25 ODIs between 1979 and 1991, scoring 1,084 runs. He scored 27,142 and 13,594 runs in 482 first-class matches and 485 List A matches, respectively.
