Michael Holding, a legendary fast bowler and one of the most respected voices in world cricket, has called time on his illustrious career as a commentator and broadcaster.

The 66-year-old, who was part of the Sky Sports commentary panel for over 20 years, had been contemplating hanging up the microphone for the last one year. The former Windies pacer, who did commentary during the India-England Tests, had earlier said he won’t be able to travel like he used to at his age anymore.

“I am not too sure how much further than 2020 I will be going with commentary. I cannot see myself going much further down the road at my age. I am 66 years old now,” Holding had said.
