Indian and English players will wear black armbands during day five of the first Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at Headingley in honour of former cricketer Dilip Doshi.
The two teams will also observe a minute’s silence ahead of the day’s play in memory of Doshi, who passed away in London on Monday, following a cardiac arrest.
Doshi, a left-arm spinner, played 33 Tests and 15 ODIs for India from 1979 to 1983. He picked 114 wickets in Tests and 22 scalps in the limited-overs format.
He made his international debut during the first Test of Australia’s tour of India, which was played in Chennai. He registered figures of six for 103 in the first innings and overall, eight for 167 in the fixture. Doshi is one of only nine Indian men who have a five-for on their debut Test.
He played First-Class cricket for Saurashtra and Bengal in India. He also represented Nottinghamshire and Warwickshire in country cricket in England. Overall, he took 898 wickets in First-Class cricket.
