NEW DELHI: Star England batsman and former captain Joe Root paid tribute to the late great Graham Thorpe, saying that without him, the Three Lions would not have had such a successful career.
Before Wednesday's first Test match between England and Sri Lanka begins in Manchester, the players from that country will pay their respects to the departed batter. A commemorative video will be shown on the big screen as the teams line up for a moment of applause prior to their national anthems at Old Trafford Stadium. In their coverage, broadcaster Sky Sports will also honor the batter, as per ANI.
