Michael Holding Says IPL Not Cricket, Asks ICC Not To Turn Sport Into Soft-Ball

By IANS News June 28, 2021 • 21:54 PM View: 2272

Former West Indies pace bowler and commentator Michael Holding has cocked a snook at the Indian Premier League (IPL), terming it not quite cricket.

"I only commentate on cricket," said Holding in an interview to Indian Express when asked the reason behind him not commentating at the cash-rich T20 league. Holding, who took 249 wickets in 60 Tests, is part of the commentary panel with Sky Sports.
