"Aapro Darius Burge had the unique honor of ringing the (five-minute to commencement of play) bell to signal the start of the second day’s play of the India vs England cricket Test match at the Oval on September 3, 2021,” noted a communiqué from the Calcutta Parsee Club. Attired in a striped red blazer, images and a short video clip of Burge striking the bell located outside the Bowlers’ Bar of the Lord’s Pavilion were shared with Parsiana. The previous month this honor of ringing the bell was accorded to former India wicketkeeper Farokh Engineer.
