Ashes 2023: Why England And Australia Players Are Wearing Black Armbands
England and Australia cricketers wore black armbands on Day 1 of the first Ashes Test at Birmingham as a sign of respect for the victims of the Nottingham attack. Three people died in a stabbing spree in Nottingham and it included a British Indian teenage medical student Grace O'Malley Kumar. A minute's silence was maintained by the crowd and players before the start of the match and the Barmy Army, England's official fan club, will play a version of ‘Amazing Grace' in the 56th over of play on Saturday.
