BOOK SYNOPSIS
In the early 1980s, 20 West Indies cricketers were offered rich contracts to take part in rebel tours of apartheid South Africa. Some such as Lawrence Rowe, Colin Croft and Alvin Kallicharran were household names. Others would fringe players seeking a shortcut out of poverty. All would be condemned by the international cricketing fraternity.
Accused of pocketing 'blood Money' to support a regime that systematically discriminated against people of their own colour, they were banned for life from playing the sport they loved. In many cases they were shunned by their fellow countrymen. A few turned to drugs, some turned to God. Others found themselves begging on the streets and struggling with mental illness. Journalist Ashley Gray traveled to the Caribbean to find these forgotten men.
The unforgiven is their story
