Former West Indies fast bowler Michael Holding has allured the attention of the cricketing fraternity on the back of his nearly five-minute long message on needing to educate communities with respect to racism.
Speaking before the start of the first Test of West Indies’ tour of England at the Ageas Bowl, Holding didn’t feel shy about touching topics such as religion, white privilege and brainwashing by citing anecdotes from the past stating how narratives have been against the black community.

The powerful video has been uploaded on the Twitter handle of Sky Sports Cricket and has received immense love and support from both current and former cricketers, broadcasters and plentiful fans on the same platform.
It is worth mentioning that both the teams will be supporting the ‘Black Lives Matter’ badge on their jerseys in this series to raise awareness and support the protest which had happened after the killing of George Floyd in United States weeks ago.
Previously, prominent cricketers such as Daren Sammy, Chris Gayle, Kevin Pietersen and many others had expressed their support regarding the matter.
