The West Indies team will continue to take a knee and wear the Black Lives Matter logos on their shirts during the upcoming two-match Test Series in Australia, Cricket West Indies announced.

The gesture of taking a knee was also done during the two-match T20 International (T20I) Series against Australia in October ahead of the matches in the Gold Coast and Brisbane.

West Indies first took a knee back in July, 2020 when they toured England for a Test series and have continued to do so since as it demonstrates full support for the fight against racism, inequality and injustice.

Additionally, the Windies will join the Australians in observing the barefoot circle during the opening morning of the first Test. The barefoot circle is a cricket centric way for players and teams to take a moment prior to matches to acknowledge the traditional owners of the land connect to each other as opponents and pay respect to the country.

West Indies will play the first Test against Australia at the Perth Stadium in Western Australia from 30 November to December 4. The second Test will be at the Adelaide Oval in South Australia from 8 to 12 December.

This will be a day/night fixture played under lights. It will be the first pink ball Test for the West Indies in Australia. The two teams will compete for the prestigious Sir Frank Worrell trophy.
