Lara backs Windies to survive India crisis

West Indies great Lara does not expect the BCCI to pull the plug on Caribbean cricket.

"I don't think the BCCI will be that severe on us," Lara told BBC Sport.

"I believe West Indies cricket will be alive. I don't think anybody has the intention to end our game," the retired former batsman added.

"We've got some of the best talents in the world, so I believe West Indies cricket is going to survive and it's now about how we take this forward," said Lara, one of cricket's all-time great players, who scored nearly 12 000 in 131 tests, including 34 hundreds at an average of more than 52.
