IND vs ENG, 2nd Test: Why are India and England players wearing black armbands?

India and England were wearing a black armband during the second Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy which started in Birmingham on Wednesday.

The players were wearing the armbands to pay respect to former England cricketer Wayne Larkins who passed away earlier this week. He represented England in 13 Tests and 25 One-Day Internationals between 1979 and 1991.

The teams had worn black armbands in the first Test too, in memory of the lives lost in a passenger plane crash in Ahmedabad in June.
