Legal battle

Date:

Share post:

Collis King has been hit for six but not by a batsman.

The effervescent former West Indies cricketer says he is “deeply hurt” that he is now stuck at home after his English deportation on a technicality surrounding a visa application.

He is locked in a legal battle against Britain’s strict immigration laws that has left him separated from his British wife, Beverly, and unable to return to England to play league cricket for Dunnington in Yorkshire.

When NATION team visited him at the St Leonard’s Boys’ School where he coaches, King’s disconsolate look and sombre mood told the story of a man that feels let down by the country that has been his adopted home for the last four decades. (MK)
