Cable & Wireless today reveals its four-year sponsorship agreement with West Indies Cricket Team Captain, Brian Lara.

 

These sponsorship deals will allow Cable & Wireless to continue its long-term relationship with Mr Lara of whose prowess the Caribbean is so proud. 

 

Lisa Agard, Executive Vice President Legal, Regulatory and Public Policy, says,  “today’s announcement represents an integral part of the programme of sponsorships we are building in support of cricket in the Caribbean.

 

This sponsorship together with our regional sponsorship for Cricket World Cup 2007, and more imminently the ICC Champions trophy to be held here in the U.K in September are a clear signal of the continuation of our commitment to the development of cricket in the region.”
