England cricket players take a knee in support of Black Lives Matter movement

England players joined their West Indian counterparts in taking a knee ahead of the first ball in Test cricket since lockdown.

In a powerful symbol of the black lives matter movement the Windies players also wore a black glove on their right hand that was raised in the air.

The symbolic gesture came following two periods of silence in remembrance of those who had died from Covid 19 and for Sir Everton Weekes, a giant of the game who passed away last week.

The teams had lined up in a semi-circle for the silences before dispersing into their usual fielding positions. All the England players bar batsmen Dominic Sibley and Rory Burns left the field and placed themselves alongside support staff on the boundary edge.
