Coolidge, Antigua – Wednesday, 16 May 2007 – Former West
Indies fast bowler turned cricket commentator Michael
Holding has joined the Stanford 20/20 board, having attended
his first board meeting in Antigua on Monday, 7 May, at the
personal invitation of Stanford 20/20 creator Sir Allen
Stanford.
Holding was unanimously voted in by the board comprised of
Stanford, the 13 other cricket legends, Sir Everton Weekes,
Sir Garfield Sobers, Rev. Wes Hall, Andy Roberts, Sir Vivian
Richards, Lance Gibbs, Joel Garner, Curtly Ambrose, Richie
Richardson, Courtney Walsh, Ian Bishop, Desmond Haynes,
Gordon Greenidge, and Judge Kenneth Allen, Q.C.
Sir Allen asked Holding to be a part of the Stanford 20/20
initiative from the outset but Holding felt he was unable to
commit to the obligations of the board because of his job as
a Sky TV cricket commentator which requires extensive
travel. |
