India and England observed a minute’s silence before the start of the third ODI at Lord’s on Sunday.
The gesture was to pay tribute to legendary West Indies cricketer Garfield Sobers, who passed away at the age of 89 on Friday. No cause of death was given.
County side Nottinghamshire, where Sobers enjoyed a distinguished stint, mourned him as “cricket’s greatest-ever all-rounder, and an iconic figure in Nottinghamshire history”, expressing its deep sadness at his passing and recalling his contributions of 7,041 runs and 281 wickets for the county.
The BCCI also paid tribute to Sobers on the day of his passing.
