NATUC supports star batsman Brian Lara

The National Trade Union Centre (NATUC) is once again rallying around star batsman Brian Lara, as for the second time in his cricketing career, he has been appointed the man to lead the West Indies cricket team.

Lara will lead the team  in the upcoming Cable and Wireless Test Series, which is set to take place later this month around the Caribbean region. NATUC President Robert Giuseppi expressed his confidence in Lara as “the man to restore West Indies cricket to its former glory.” Giuseppi added that Lara along with the additional responsibility of the captaincy “under his belt”, also had an obligation to his fans to perform well. “His ability to lead the West Indies will be under serious scrutiny especially when we face Australia. Lara will not disappoint his supporters,” claimed Giuseppi. Congratulations were also extended to Ramnaresh Sarwan on his appointment as Vice Captain, who Giuseppi said displayed “exceptional resilience” in the recently concluded World Cup series in South Africa.
