MORE ABOUT MONTY
Monty arrived on the international cricketing scene in March 2006. His amazing performances against India and in the Ashes series saw him catapulted to hero status in a matter of months and widely rated as England’s best spin bowler for 30 years.
He was the first Sikh to represent a nation other than India in Test cricket, and he credits his religion for his discipline in the nets. It is his total dedication to the sport plus his unique style that have awarded him the status of cricketing legend.
He is truly a national treasure.
