Lara unveiled as BPL ambassador

Brian Lara has been unveiled as the brand ambassador of Chittagong Kings for the second season of the Bangladesh Premier League (BPL).

The former West Indies batsman believes the franchise system will widen the net to find talented cricketers across the world.

Lara will accompany the Kings' ownership in commercial and promotional activities, but is not likely to have a coaching role.

Lara has supported similar concept in Zimbabwe, where he played a few games two years ago.
