Brian Lara recalled his initial days as a cricketer

During his Spirit of Cricket lecture in 2017, Brian Lara, one of the legends from West Indies expressed his views about his own team and courted controversy for showing the Caribbean side in a negative light.

He began by shedding light on the treatment he had received during his initial years in international cricket. Lara said that during his first tour to England in 1991, he carried bottles in every game but didn't get any chance to play.

He said the great Viv Richards had asked him to be the driver of his new car and Lara humorously added, "After that I knew all the roads in England as I became his driver, the only strip that I wanted to drive on was the 22 yards on the cricket field but I never got a chance to play on that tour."
