I remember this story from back when it first emerged. Looking forward to the remaining 5 parts of this.

Yeah, I was fascinated by this when it happened, but I'd actually forgotten about it. The rest of this series should be great to read.

Sounds like someone at Worcs might be worried about how the club is depicted here. I might be putting 2 and 2 together and ending up with 76, but the club doesn't exactly come out smelling of roses in this one

Here's an interview with Shankar from 2019, talking about his career as a filmmaker. Really have no way of knowing if he is telling the truth or back to his old habits. Apparently the Wisden series will look at his post-cricket life, so interested to see if any of this can be backed up: http://lovetalkin.com/tag/adrian-shankar-filho/

Being someone who is routinely incredulous at the prices paid to contract some players in the IPL, cricketing stupidity seems normal to me. But every time I read this story it astounds me that a professional sports team can have so little due diligence. I mean, five minutes on google should have at least raised suspicions.

We know that, over the coming days, more and more stories emerged of Shankar’s fabulations and fabrications. Luke Sutton, a colleague on the Lancashire staff for two years, told in the Daily Mail of how he confronted Shankar over rumours he was three years older than he claimed. “His reply, straight to my face and without a shadow of doubt, was that he had been on a life support machine for the first three years of his life and was therefore physically three years younger than he should be. I challenged him on this and said that surely he grew during the three years on the life support machine. He simply replied ‘No, I didn’t’ and walked off.”
