Strategic advisor to Sunrisers Hyderabad, Brian Lara has vented his ire at children for not enjoying sufficient Test match cricket. While talking to ‘Sportstar’ the ‘Prince of Trinidad’ mentioned ‘something needs to be done’ citing children who’re preferring to play franchise cricket over their respective nations.

“Playing for the country should come first. Because I played for the West Indies, other opportunities opened up for me. It’s disappointing to see young cricketers leaving Test cricket. The ICC should come up with a rule stating a cricketer must play a certain number of games for his country before he can play in the Twenty20 leagues. Something needs to be done,” mentioned Lara.

He additionally remembered Shane Warne on this event. The Aussie handed away on March 5 in Thailand. Remembering him, he highlighted the a number of roles Warne performed and mentioned that he had a constructive affect in all places he went. “We’ve been involved in some fascinating duels. But after the day’s play, he would leave everything behind and have a drink with you. As a commentator, he articulated the right issues. His influence was positive wherever he went.”
