London. Teams of India and Australia as well as match officials were seen wearing black armbands ahead of the start of the 2023 World Test Championship final at The Oval to pay respect to the victims of the Odisha train tragedy earlier this month.
Before the national anthem, a minute’s silence was observed by everyone in the ground in memory of the victims of the tragic train accident that took place near Bahanaga Bazar railway station in Odisha’s Balasore district.
Last Friday, 288 people were killed and over 1000 were injured when three trains (two passenger and a goods train) collided. The accident has been considered as one of the worst train accidents in India in nearly two decades.
“The team condoles the deaths and extends its deepest condolences to the families and friends of all those who tragically lost their lives,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) said in a statement.
