Sir Garry and Lara want change in WI cricket

And two legends of West Indies cricket are imploring modern-day players to put the regional team ahead of their own personal goals.

Former captains Sir Garfield Sobers and Brian Lara made their feelings known during a segment called A Conversation With The Icons as part as Saturday night’s Evening With The Stars at the Barbados Hilton Hotel where 25 outstanding Barbadians were honoured for their sporting accomplishments.

“It is really disappointing what has happened, even when I was playing from about 1995 to now. The decline of our cricket, not just on the field but off the field, administratively,” Lara said. (EZS)
