Former West Indies skipper Brian Lara will come out of retirement to play in an unofficial Indian cricket league to be launched later this year, its organisers said yesterday.”We’ve signed up Lara, he will be playing and captaining one of the teams,” Himanshu Mody, business head of Zee Sports, told Reuters.
