West Indies, England women’s teams to take a knee in support of BLM
The HinduPlayers of the West Indies and England women’s cricket teams will take a knee in support of the Black Lives Matter movement in all five games of an upcoming T20 International series. West Indies captain Stafanie Taylor said on Saturday that the teams would perform the gesture and praised her England counterpart Heather Knight for offering to join them in recognising the movement. “We will be wearing the Black Lives Matter movement logo on our jersey but, yeah, we’ll be taking a knee for all the games.” Fast-bowling great Michael Holding has recently criticised the England and Australian men’s teams for not taking a knee in support of the movement during their limited-overs series. It was really nice of her to send a message to say, ‘Hey Staf, you know, we’re very much in support of the Black Lives Matter movement, and we want to support it as best as we can, so let me know what it is that you want to do.’ “That brings a smile to all of our faces.” Holding has been a vocal advocate of the movement that gained momentum with the killing of African American George Floyd in Minneapolis after being pinned to the ground by a white police officer for allegedly using a counterfeit bill.
