Sir Viv Richards, one of the most destructive batsmen of all time, was an integral member of the West Indies team that dominated cricket in the 1970s and 1980s. He was ahead of his time in the limited overs game and West Indies did not lose a single Test series under his captaincy. On joining the Governing Council of the IML, Sir Vivian Richards said, “The IML is an incredible platform that will provide fans with the unique thrill of seeing past legends of the game again in action. I am thrilled to be part of the Governing Council and to support this innovative league.” “Excited to help lead the way to success.” Shaun Pollock, the former South African captain and one of the most successful all-rounders of all time, will bring his experience and versatility as a member of the IML Governing Council. “It is fantastic to be part of the Governing Council alongside the greats of cricket. The IML is a chance to enjoy the skill and class of the legends who have entertained so many fans over the years. They will also inspire the new generation. I I hope to play my part in making the league an unforgettable experience for everyone,” Pollock said. (ANI)
