Brian Lara

Brian Lara is one of cricket’s greatest players. Holder of the world record for the highest Test score and the only player in history to breach the 500-run mark in a first-class innings, the left-hander bestrode the game in the years either side of the millennium. Since retirement he has turned his hand to commentary and coaching – taking charge of Sunrisers Hyderabad in the IPL – and set up the Bunty and Pearl Foundation, a charity in memory of his parents that aims to tackle health and social care issues primarily in his native Trinidad.
