The contrast in the two Indian national cricket teams' respect for Yashpal Sharma was evident on Tuesday with the Test team playing a warm-up game in England sporting a black armband in the memory of former India World Cup-winning player, while the limited-overs team in Sri Lanka ignoring him in the first two ODIs played over the last three days.

Sharma, who played 37 Tests, 42 ODIs, and was India's second-highest run-getter in the 1983 World Cup, had died on July 13 due to a heart attack at the age of 66.
