Indian men’s and women’s cricket teams wear black armbands in memory of Manmohan Singh

The Hindu  

The Indian men’s and women’s cricket teams sported black armbands in their respective matches on Friday to honour former prime minister Manmohan Singh, who died in New Delhi. Mr. Singh, a two time former prime minister from 2004 to 2014, died at the All India Institute of Medical Sciences on Thursday after losing consciousness at his home owing to age-related ailments. “The Indian team is wearing black arm bands as a mark of respect in the memory of former PM Dr Manmohan Singh, who passed away,” the BCCI said in a statement. Mr. Singh, also a renowned economist, was the architect and the brainchild of economic reforms in 1991 that pulled India from the brink of bankruptcy and ushered in an era of economic liberalisation that is widely believed to have changed the course of India’s economic trajectory.
