The 19-year-olds - whose teams both posted moving tributes - were horrifically killed in a knife rampage at around 4am on Tuesday.

The Ashes will commemorate tragic student cricketers Barnaby Webber and Grace Kumar  in their upcoming tests, the England and Wales Cricket Board have confirmed.  

The 19-year-olds - whose teams both posted moving tributes - were horrifically killed in a knife rampage at around 4am on Tuesday.

Essex Women's Cricket today paid tribute to a 'massive talent' - who was their captain while part of the junior programme.

Essex - who are today playing Somerset, where Barnaby's team were located - are playing under flags at half mast, while both sides are wearing black armbands and have observed a minute's silence.

Somerset are also planning another minute's silence for their game on Friday, and a further minute when they travel up to play Nottingham on June 25.

Bishops Hull Cricket Club - who Barnaby played for - paid tribute to the keen sportsman last night
