"Cricket should be unforgettable" - England cricketers raise awareness about dementia with novel pre-game jersey swap

THE ENGLISH CRICKETERS adopted a novel way to promote a good cause ahead of the 5th Ashes test match.

During the pre-match line up where the national anthems were played, they wore jerseys bearing the names of their teammates, not themselves.

This was done to draw attention to the struggles faced by people living with dementia.
