Former England spinner Monty Panesar eyes career in politics
India TV NewsFormer England off-spinner Monty Panesar, who recently turned author with his book 'The Full Monty', has spoken of plans to take on the world of politics, possibly as a future Mayor of London. The 37-year-old spinner, who had handed over copies of his book to the Indian cricket team during their UK tour for the Cricket World Cup in June-July, said he would next like to tackle politics at the end of his cricketing career. "India is now a thriving nation and soon India will take over the world," said the bowler, who triggered "Monty Mania" with his very first wicket for the England team being that of Sachin Tendulkar in 2012. In his book, Panesar speaks about the racism faced by his parents' generation, about growing up as a happy, cricket-obsessed child in England and his thoughts about the infamous Lord Norman Tebbit cricket test, which questioned the loyalties of Britain's immigrant population.
