Legends Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Richie Richardson and Brian Lara are in India to support the West Indies team and also to promote the brand of West Indies cricket.
The famous trio arrived last weekend in Mumbai for meetings before they traveled to New Delhi, where they will host a special golf day. They will be accompanied by Chris Dehring, the chief executive officer of Cricket West Indies (CWI).
This will be at the prestigious Qutab Golf Club, which is India’s first public course and offers a perfect blend of history, sports and scenery. As part of CWI’s outreach initiative, they will play alongside senior business executives, corporate leaders of industry and investment, prominent media managers and influencers, as well as members of the Indian cricket fraternity.
They will also attend the second Test match between West Indies and India at the historic Arun Jaitley Stadium, formerly known as the Feroz Shah Kotla.
Posting on his Instagram page Lara wrote “I’m here in India with two legendary West Indies cricketers, Sir Viv and Sir Richie on a mission to engage with sponsors and media giants who shape the game we all love. What’s most inspiring is that despite all they’ve achieved their passion for West Indies cricket still burns as bright as ever. That pride, that purpose, still drives them. We rejoiced together, we cried together. The key is we have to plan to rise together again”.
