Lara hints at return to West Indies set-up |
West Indies batting great Brian Lara has said that he is willing to join other Caribbean
cricket legends in rescuing the game in the region ahead of the winter tour of
Australia. The 40-year-old said he is willing to play his part in restoring Caribbean
cricket to its former glory. "Not much other than encouraging the guys," Lara
said when asked on radio 2UE what his involvement in West Indies cricket was.
"There is so much wrong with it at the moment that I'm very happy that I'm not
in there causing some of the problems. There (will be) some involvement in the
future, I am almost certain that is going to be the situation,” The Independent
quoted Lara, as saying further. "I am not pushing myself on anyone and I've not
been asked but I believe it's a fait accompli that the likes of Sir Vivian Richards
or Gordon Greenidge (or myself)... we all have to play a significant part in West
Indies cricket in the near future," he added. Lara fears the players' strike coupled
with Australia 's hunger to make amends for their Ashes loss leaves West Indies
in danger of heavy defeat during the upcoming three-Test series. But long term
he sees some hope for his former team on the back of the success in the Twenty20
version of the game. |
