Former South Africa cricketer tears apart Cricket South Africa

Former South Africa cricketer, Brian McMillan is one of the players who played for the team post-re-admission in international cricket. Before the entry of Jacques Kallis into the team, McMillan played for the team. After his playing career ended, he took care of his family business and taught Afrikaans. He took himself away from the game.

“Fortunately, I have my family business and we are into finance, telecom, printers and production machines. When I was playing, I had worked for companies like cannon,” the 60- year-old told PTI in an exclusive interview, sitting in his sprawling office in Aztec Park area.

“I did my MBA after cricket and before that taught Afrikaans and science in school to supplement my income while I was playing.” With his all-round skills, he would have been sought-after in IPL but he simply said “it is what it is.” “Before me Clive Rice, Graeme Pollock, Barry Richards and Mike Proctor could have made money,” he said.

McMillan added that he doesn’t work in the game as Cricket South Africa is way too political for his liking.

“I don’t go to the ground as it is too political for me and I have my viewpoints on that. I really love the game and I have my view points on that,” McMillan said.

Black Lives Matter is a Marxist idea: Brian McMillian

Since the unfortunate killing of George Lloyd, BLM has become a massive discussion around the globe. Given the rainbow nation’s history, it was bound to happen there too.

“I certainly don’t believe in their selection policies. BLM I don’t believe in. It’s a Marxist thing. I believe all lives matter, how people interpreted it in this country… they didn’t have any knowledge to what BLM stood for,” he said.

“You can have your own viewpoints, doesn’t really matter, entitled to their view points but I don’t support it because if BLM falls in category of ‘All Lives Matter’ then I am okay… colour, culture and creed.
