MANCHESTER (England), Jan 3: England fast bowling duo Sajid Mahmood and Simon Jones are among several Test cricketers set for on-screen roles in a new Bollywood movie about cricket.

’Victory’ is a film which charts the story of a boy fulfilling his dream of playing for India.

Shooting will start this month in Australia, during the ongoing Australia-India series and will feature several current and retired international cricketers from around the world.

“I was quite surprised when approached to be involved, but it’s a great opportunity to do something very different,” said Lancashire quick Mahmood. “I don’t have a big role in the movie: I just play myself and bowl - that can’t be too difficult.”

Australians Brett Lee, Allan Border, Mike Hussey and Jason Gillespie as well as New Zealanders Craig McMillan, Daryl Tuffey, Nathan Astle and Martin Crowe, plus members of the current India team are also set to feature in ‘Victory’.—AFP
