Monty Panesar, the former England spinner, has announced his decision to withdraw as a parliamentary candidate for the Workers Party of Great Britain, led by George Galloway. This announcement comes just one week after Panesar's high-profile unveiling by Galloway in Westminster.
The 42-year-old had been selected to contest the Ealing Southall seat in West London at the upcoming general election. However, following a series of difficult media interviews, Panesar has chosen to end his brief foray into politics.
