West Indies batsman Brian Lara is reconsidering his position as captain following their lost series to India.

After India took the deciding fourth test in Jamaica to win the series 1-nil, Lara expressed his frustration with regional cricket authorities in the Caribbean saying he would make a decision on his tenure as captain after the appointment of a new selection panel.

Lara also revealed that he received a letter from the regional governing body on the eve of the final test, notifying him that he was a member of the selection panel, effective from May 28, but he had complained earlier in the series that he was not a selector and had no influence on team selections.

In contrast, Indian captain Rahul Dravid won the man-of-the-match award for scores of 81 and 68 on a difficult pitch and was adjudged man-of-the-series for an aggregate of 496 runs.

He says the pace attack of Munaf Patel, Shanthakumaran Sreesanth, Vikram Singh and Irfan Pathan is the best India’s had for a long time.
