For a generation of cricket fans, the name Alvin Kallicharran conjures images of effortless grace, a flashing blade, and the poise of a giant in a small frame. A legendary former West Indies and Guyana captain, “Kalli” defined the golden era of the 1970s with a batting technique that was as elegant as it was lethal. But today, the man who once dominated the world’s cricket pitches is on home soil for a different kind of innings—one focused on the future of Guyana’s youth.

I was a big fan of Alvin; and as a Kid I had his name written on my Bat.

Wonder if there will be any mention in his book (needs to be) about he amongst others who embarked on a rebel tour of South Africa whilst Nelson Mandela was banged up for 20years ....an how it felt to be called an "honorary white" in allowing them for eg to sit at the front of the train where only whites was allowed to sit...i believe Lawrence Rowe has since apologised...wonder if Kalli will or has!!😎

Am not sure. I That tour should have never happened, but i think he did it at the end of his career.
