'Cricket Needs India' To Keep Itself Alive, Says New Zealand's Richard Hadlee
Cricket needs India due to the revenue it generates and also strides it has made in Test cricket that has kept the longest format of the game alive, said former New Zealand all-rounder Richard Hadlee.
"There is no doubt India produces a lot of revenue for cricket. Without India, the face of world cricket would be very different, therefore cricket needs India," said Hadlee, who formed a world-class quartet of all-rounders in the 1970s and 1980s along with Imran Khan, Kapil Dev and Ian Botham.
