West Indies will wear a Black Lives Matter emblem on the collars of their shirts during July's Test series against England.

Captain Jason Holder hinted in his first press conference of the tour that West Indies would look to support the movement in some way, and said in a statement on Sunday: "We believe we have a duty to show solidarity and also to help raise awareness."

The logo used will be that worn on the shirts of all 20 Premier League football clubs since the sport's restart earlier this month, designed by Alisha Hosannah, whose partner Troy Deeney is Watford's captain. Deeney was contacted by CWI for approval, and the ICC gave permission for the emblem to be worn on the teams' collars.

I am very happy about this although I am not sure the current environment is safe for international sports.

1. They're only using 2 grounds that have on-site hotels

And have already tested the relevant staff and players, who are going to live on-site from now, so hopefully it should be safe: https://www.sacricketmag.com/england-move-bio-bubble/

Whether the level of cricket will be up to scratch after months without competitive games could be another matter, of course.

2. Yep

and today's warm up game hasn't started because of rain.
I do miss my cricket but safety first - we'll see.
