Sydney tests

BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: In their 2023 Men’s ODI World Cup match against England at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium, the Indian team will be seen wearing black armbands as a mark of respect for legendary left-arm spinner Bishan Singh Bedi.

“#TeamIndia will be wearing Black Armbands in memory of the legendary Bishan Singh Bedi before the start of play against England in the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2023,” said the BCCI on X (formerly Twitter).

Previously, players from both Australia and Netherlands observed a minute’s silence in his memory ahead of their World Cup match at the Arun Jaitley Stadium last Wednesday, a venue which has a stand named after Bedi.
