Surrey talking to Lara - Report

Surrey are reportedly in talks with Brian Lara about him coming of retirement to play Twenty20 cricket for the county.

The former West Indies batsman, 40, who retired from international cricket after the 2007 World Cup, has not played competitive cricket for two years.

"We have been in discussion with Brian regarding his possible involvement with the club," the BBC website quoted a Surrey statement as saying.

"However we have no further comment to make at this stage."

Lara averaged 52.88 in 131 Tests for the Windies and 40.48 in 299 one-day internationals.

He holds the highest individual score in Test cricket with 400 not out against England in Antigua in 2004.

Surrey have already recruited flamboyant Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds to play Twenty20.
