Former Windies great Michael Holding alleges corruption in CWI. I am a past player, not that I want any of it but I know a lot of past players, I have never heard that not even one cent out of that half a million going to any past player, said the former Windies great.
As the former India captain turns 70 today, July 10, accolades and honours have come pouring in on Twitter.
Nicknamed 'Whispering Death', Holding recalls in the Sky Sports-produced series - 'My Icon' - he faced most racial discrimination in Australia and England.
The International Cricket Council came in for sharp criticism for its bizarre rules on playing conditions
Sunil Gavaskar is known for his impregnable defence against the all-time-great West Indies pace battery, but the former opening batsman, who turned 67 on Sunday, had a weakness - glucose biscuits from Amchi Mumbai. This was revealed by his younger sister Nutan at a function organised to mark his birthday by the Legends Club at the Cricket Club of India. "He used to like those biscuits...Parle G gluco biscuits. West Indies was a long way off and (it was a) long tour, so he would like to have those biscuits for his tea or coffee, so whoever was travelling there, we would try and send those packets of biscuits for him," Nutan Gavaskar told reporters.
