Alvin Kallicharran Cricketer Biography

Biography Of The West Indian Legendary Batsman Alvin Kallicharan

By Shubham Shah December 07, 2020 • 13:47 PM View: 206

Only of 5 feet and 4 inches and of Indian stock, Alvin Kallicharan showed the courage and indomitability of the little man in International cricket. A left-handed batsman and right-handed off-spinner poise, balance, orthodoxy, a full range of strokes off either foot, and a bat that because of its size relative to him, appeared far too large to a generation of hapless bowlers.

Like Rohan Kanhai, Kallicharran is a product of Port Mourant in Berbice, Guyana, the same club which produced Basil Butcher, Joe Solomon, John Trim, Ivan Madray and the Christiani brothers, Cyril and Robert, all of whom played for West Indies. His father Isaac, a rice and coconut farmer, captained Port Mourant.
