Kemar Roach Took 'A Significant Pay Cut' for West Indies tour of England | Players Lounge

Subscribe to Players' Lounge - https://bit.ly/2XJY9UP ---------- We'll be bringing you new episodes EVERY Friday! West Indies Cricket star Kemar Roach joined Carlos Brathwaite for the first episode of the Players’ Lounge. Roach opened up on the West Indies players' desire to tour England during the global COVID 19 pandemic and defend the Wisden Trophy, having to take a 'significant' pay cut to do so and what life was like inside the West Indies biosecure bubble. The 32-year-old pace bowler claimed his 200th Test wicket against England and talked about his hopes of leaving a legacy within West Indies cricket. He's now 9th on the all time West Indies bowlers list with 201 wickets after passing Fidel Edwards and has the likes of Michael Holding and Sir Garry Sobers in his sights. Roach also touched on the emotional rollercoaster he found himself on after picking up a serious shoulder injury against India in 2014, which left him fearing his career was over. He also created his Frankenstein cricketer, featuring West Indies legend Brian Lara and current West Indies captain Jason Holder. And in case you didn't already know, Roach also confirmed that Chris Gayle is indeed the happiest man in cricket! ---------- About Players Lounge: We are bringing together the biggest names in world cricket for raw, unfiltered conversation and to show you the real people behind the superstars on the field.
