\"West Indies players are wearing black armbands on day one of the second Test against India as a tribute to former player Bernard Julien who passed away last week. All-rounder Julien was a member of the 1975 World Cup winning team,\" said Cricket West Indies (CWI) in a statement on Friday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Julien, a key figure in the West Indies\u2019 rise during the 1970s, played 24 Tests and amassed 866 runs while picking 50 wickets. In 12 ODIs, he made 86 runs and picked 18 scalps. He was a part of the West Indies\u2019 side that won the inaugural Men\u2019s ODI World Cup in 1975. In that competition, Julien picked figures of 4-20 in the group stage game against Sri Lanka before taking 4-27 against New Zealand in the semi-final.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Julien also made 179 appearances for the English county side Kent from 1970 to 1977 - taking 336 wickets and scoring 3,296 runs. The West Indies will be hoping to channel in some of the fearlessness Julien showed in his playing days by putting in a fighting show against India in the Test getting underway in New Delhi, where they are 1-0 behind in the two-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
