GUWAHATI, India – Legendary former West Indies captain Sir Vivian Richards has held out little hope of the Caribbean side winning next year’s ICC World Cup in England.
He identified the hosts along with five-time winners and reigning champions Australia as among his favourites but overlooked the struggling Windies.
“England has played well [in the past] but always they have fallen short at the last moment. It is a good team always,” Sir Viv told reporters.
“Pakistan and India are two teams that can defeat anyone. Australia is another great team. So, I think there are four, five teams that have the potential to win 2019 World Cup.” (CMC)
