Brian Lara tells Cricket West Indies to seek Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo's intervention: ‘Time to act'
West Indies, led by Shai Hope, might have won the three-match ODI series against Pakistan 2-1, but cannot deny that the state of the sport in the Islands has gone down considerably. Not long ago, the team from the Caribbean were bundled out for 27 in the day-night Test against Australia. West Indies then suffered defeats against Australia and Pakistan in the T20I series. Following the defeat in the pink ball Test, Cricket West Indies (CWI) held an emergency meeting, which was attended by former Windies captains Clive Lloyd and Brian Lara. Brian Lara tells CWI to reach out to Chris Gayle, Kieron Pollard and Dwayne Bravo(Getty) In an Instagram post, Brian Lara has now urged Cricket West Indies to bring former cricketers such as Kieron Pollard, Chris Gayle and Dwayne Bravo on board to elevate the current generation of players. Earlier this year, Nicholas Pooran and Andre Russell retired from international cricket. While Russell's decision did not surprise many, Nicholas Pooran's call came as a shocker, as he is relatively young and had a lot to offer to the West Indies. 'In particular, I believe former players such as Chris Gayle, Dwayne Bravo and Kieron Pollard possess a unique and timely perspective that can prove invaluable. These men have not only played at the highest level, but have done so in an era that reflects the modern athlete's psyche, ambitions, and motivations,' Lara wrote on Instagram. Also Read: Brian Lara gets a call past midnight: 'Someone just broke your record'; WI legend then dials the 'noisy' dressing room 'Their proximity to today's players — in terms of generational alignment and shared dressing rooms — gives them an authentic understanding of what drives, distracts, or disillusions the modern West Indian cricketer,' he added. 'We must act now' The former West Indies captain, who holds the record for the highest individual score in Tests, believes Gayle, Pollard, and Bravo could lead to better communication and help cricket in the islands get back on track. It must be mentioned that the T20 World Cup-winning captain, Daren Sammy, is the current head coach of the West Indies. However, the results have been far and between under his reign. 'Chris, Dwayne and KP , through their own journeys across global franchise circuits and in service to West Indies cricket, are exceptionally well-positioned to offer that clarity,' Lara wrote. 'If we are to build a lasting solution — one that reconnects performance with purpose — we must engage all those who carry relevant insight. This is a moment for collective wisdom, not isolated intervention. The deeper the bench of experience we draw from, the more equipped we will be to tackle the structural and psychological challenges that continue to plague the regional game. The time to act is now, but we must act together,' he added. West Indies had failed to qualify for the 2023 ODI World Cup in India, while the team also failed to make the cut for the 2025 Champions Trophy in Pakistan and Dubai.

Royal Enfield Flying Flea C6 Incline Test Teased- Launch Soon?
Royal Enfield is preparing the C6 for its entry into the market, and with it, for marking its presence in the world of EVs. In line, there are multiple other products, including the HIM-e and the second product under the Flying Flea sub-brand, the S6. While the exact timeline of the launch of these products is yet to be revealed, the manufacturer has dropped a teaser for what they call an Incline Test of the C6. Shared on social media, the teaser clip had the caption saying, "The road can tell you things no blueprint ever will. We bring you Ride & Tested - where we put FF.C6 to the test. Incline Test dropping soon." It is to be noted that this is one of the initial teasers of the production version of the bike, following the showcase of the prototype of the C6. Apart from that, the EV has been spotted testing multiple times. The test mule spotted earlier provided a preview of the machine's functionality, highlighting circular LED lights that show the brand's fusion of classic and contemporary designs. True to its roots, the motorcycle features a sleek frame with an aluminum chassis and girder forks, reminiscent of classic models. Additionally, the split seat design and black alloy wheels are also noticeable. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Flying Flea (@flyingflea) The bike's aerodynamic form includes a magnesium frame that aids in managing airflow. Although the bike's specifications are not yet available, we anticipate it will offer a range of around 100 km, as it has been designed for city use. In order to fulfill its purpose, the manufacturer has focused on reducing the bike's weight, ensuring it remains under 100 kg. Beyond its visual appeal, the brand has made significant investments in the technology incorporated into the motorcycle. It can be regarded as the most advanced motorcycle produced by Royal Enfield. The bike will come equipped with a round touchscreen interface that enables various functions such as voice commands, connectivity, and more. To power these capabilities, the company has utilized Qualcomm's Snapdragon processor.
