Influence on Bangladesh cricket

Being born in the sub continent, he always took special interest in South Asian cricket. He came to Bangladesh twice with MCC sides, first in 78-79 and again in 80-81. He became an instant hit with the cricketing public of Dhaka, not so much for his cricket, but more for his rather bulky figure. Later on he served the Bangladesh cricket as a coach and helped in the early development of cricket in Bangladesh.
