Lara has a lot more to give to W. Indies

LONDON, MAY 14. Brian Lara, who is to tour England after a last- minute change of mind, believes he has a lot more to give to West Indies cricket.

Lara has been having a break from the game since early March and told West Indies officials on Tuesday he was unavailable for the tour, only to make a dramatic U-turn the next day.

In an Interview with Britain's The Mail on Sunday newspaper, Lara says of the future: ``I cannot say whether I have fully discovered my passion for international cricket. ``Who knows how long that sort of thing can take? All I can say is that I'm determined to try.

``I enjoy the pressure of everyone wanting me to do well and that is what I have to get back to. I still feel there is a lot more for me to achieve as a person and a lot more to contribute to West Indies cricket,'' he told the paper.
