West Indies legend Brian Lara cleared the air yesterday as to why his great friend Sachin Tendulkar was not able to make the trip for the opening of his Stadium this evening at Tarouba.

Initially, it was announced that the Indian master was coming to T&T for the opening of the Brian Lara Academy which will have a stand named in his honour.

Recently, it was reported that the batting maestro will not be here and Lara at a press briefing at his Lady Chancellor home explained: “After 13 years the structure has been handed back to the government of the day and I was contacted to be involved in the opening ceremony and a date for it. January was talked about, then April and May.
