Trinidad: Former West Indies skipper Brian Lara confirmed on Saturday that talks between him and the Trinidad & Tobago Cricket board regarding his appointment of coach’s position are in progress.
Trinidad & Tobago would play the forthcoming Champions League.
Lara will not be able to join the squad as a player as the rules govern that the team must be the same as the one that participated in the domestic competition.
“I haven’t been approached but we have had discussions on it,” Lara said in an interview.
“I think we really want to come to a mutual understanding of exactly what Trinidad and Tobago cricket wants to get out of Brian Lara. I think you are going to play in an international tournament for the first time, we’re accustomed to playing regional tournaments but we have to know exactly what the pitches are going to be like.”

International players like Brendon McCullum, Andrew Symonds, Adam Gilchrist, Dale Steyn, Virender Sehwag and Daniel Vettori will be showcasing themselves in to tourney
“The opposition is on an international stage … so I see some merit in it but to know exactly what role I’ll be playing, I’m not so sure. If they see I can be an asset, it is something I’ll definitely look at.”
