Players wear armbands as tribute to Sir Sobers

India and England players on Sunday wore black armbands at Lord’s in memory of the legendary West Indies cricketer Sir Garfield Sobers, who died at the age of 89.

A former West Indies captain and one of the greatest cricketers ever, Sobers breathed his last on Friday, 11 days shy of his 90th birthday.

“#TeamIndia is wearing black armbands to pay tribute to West Indies legend Sir Garfield Sobers following his passing on Friday,” the Indian team management said in a post.
