Brian prefers a break
BRIDGETOWN. Barbados. Mar 3 (Reuters/AFP).
Brian Lara has announced he is j taking a break
from the game 'with immediate effect" one week after resigning as captain of West Indies.

"During this time. I intend with the assistance of the ap-Eropriate professionals, to re-uild all facets of my game so as to sustain the remainder of my cricketing career.”
The 30-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago does not plan to attend a nine-day camp which starts on Friday for a West Indies training squad in Jamaica and has effectively ruled himself out of the series.
Rousseau had stated at a news conference in Jamaica on Sunday that Lara had given an assurance that he would play in the home series against both Zimbabwe and Pakistan, even though he had resigned as captain.
"'I regret any disappointment that my decision will cause West Indies cricket fans, but ask for your patience," Lara said.
Andrew Sealy, executive secretary of the WICB. said the news was very disappointing for West Indian fans.
"Clearly, the West Indies team will need to be totally focussed to face-up to the chal-
lenge of Zimbabwe without the world's premier batsman." Sealy commented.
"I would also like to thank the WICB for their support at this difficult time."
