Chandigarh, July 24

Former West Indies cricket players Viv Richards and Carl Hooper have demanded an apology from their former team mate Brian Lara for “misrepresenting” them in his book, ‘Lara: The England Chronicles’.

Lara in his book has mentioned that Richards in the dressing room was intimidating and that he would make Carl Hooper cry once a week and Lara once in three weeks.

In a joint statement, Richards and Hooper have said that such was not the case; on the contrary, Richards acted as a mentor to junior players.

They have demanded that Lara apologise for painting them in bad light.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
