London, June 29

The West Indies cricket team will wear a Black Lives Matter emblem on the collars of their shirts during the series against England, which begins on July 8.

West Indies will use the logo that was worn on the shirts of all 20 Premier League football clubs since the league restarted earlier in June.

The International Cricket Council has given permission for the emblem to be worn on the teams’ collars.

“We have to find some way to have equal rights and people must not be viewed differently because of the colour of their skin or ethnic background,” West Indies captain Jason Holder said. — Agencies

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
