England Team Wears Anti-Discrimination Jerseys, Quotes 'Cricket Is A Game For Everyone'

By IANS News June 10, 2021 • 20:06 PM View: 3213

Ahead of the second Test against New Zealand here at Edgbaston, the England cricket team players wore black anti-discrimination t-shirts as they repeated the 'moment of unity' gesture from first Test at Lord's.

The black jersey that the England players wore had the logo of the England team and had 'Cricket is a Game for Everyone' inscribed on the front. The gesture comes after pace bowler Ollie Robinson was dropped from the second Test as some of his old racist and sexist tweets went viral on the first day of the first Test. He was replaced by pacer Olly Stone in the second Test.
