Former West Indies cricketer and renowned commentator Michael Holding have been the face of Black Lives Moment (BLM) in the cricket world virtually. The fast bowling legend was recently pleasantly surprised to hear Team India’s decision to take a knee in support of BLM before the start of their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup tournament opener against Pakistan at the Dubai International stadium.
“A couple of people messaged to say that India took the knee and Pakistan put their hands on their hearts which apparently is what they’ve done consistently in recent times,” Holding told Cricbuzz.
Last year in the wake of George Floyd’s killing, Holding had made headlines after delivering a thought-provoking speech on the Black Lives Movement and why it is necessary.
Meanwhile, on late Sunday night, the Babar Azam-led outfit broke Pakistan’s World Cup curse against India by defeating the Kohli-led side by ten wickets.
