The gesture by the West Indies cricket team to wear a Black Lives Matter emblem on the collars of their shirts during the upcoming Test series against England represents a largely significant move not only for the movement itself but also for the Caribbean side which would have experienced the wrath of racial outbursts in the past.
Captain Jason Holder according to ESPN, hinted in his first press conference of the tour that the West Indies would look to support the movement in some way.
Holder, in a statement Sunday said: “We believe we have a duty to show solidarity and also to help raise awareness.”
