Lara digs at WICB


Batting great Brian Lara, who has often been on a collision course with the Caribbean cricket establishment, has taken another potshot at the West Indies Board by questioning their integrity and efficiency.

Lara made the remarks against the WICB at a function to inaugurate a cancer treatment centre named after him in Mucurapo.

According to 'Trinidad Express' newspaper, Lara commended the persons and organisations involved in the construction and management of the centre for "their teamwork, integrity and use of technology" but said these had "missed the Cricket Board".

The 38-year-old Lara's retirement from international cricket at the recent World Cup had surprised his fans since he had previously indicated that he would continue to play Test cricket.

The Brian Lara Cancer Treatment Centre at Fitzblackman Drive is the first of its kind in Trinidad and Tobago and the Commonwealth Caribbean.
