IND Vs AFG: Why Rohit Sharma & Co. Are Wearing Black Armbands Against Afghanistan In T20 World Cups 2024 Clash?

Bridgetown (Barbados): The Indian team will be wearing black armbands against Afghanistan during their T20 World Cup 2024 Super 8 match, in the honour of former fast bowler David Johnson who passed away on Thursday morning. Johnson, who played two Tests for India in 1996, died after falling from his fourth-floor balcony in Bengaluru and the local police said they were in the process of determining if it was a case of suicide.

“Team India will wear black armbands today in memory of former India fast bowler David Johnson, who passed away on Thursday,” the BCCI informed shortly before the start of play here at the Kensington Oval. Johnson played a Test each against Australia and South Africa and took three wickets.
