Why do players from India, England wear black weapons on the 5th of the Leeds test?

India and England players were seen with black weapons in tribute to the old Indian Dilip Doshi spinner, who sadly died on June 23, in Headingley on the 5th of the first ongoing test of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy on Tuesday, June 24.

Dilip Doshi was one of the best left spinners in India and represented El País in the late 1970’s and early 1980’s. To pay tribute to Doshi’s contributions to the Indian cricket, both the teams in England and India joined to respect the legend of Headingley.
