Page "Brian Lara" Paragraph 28

After negotiations between Surrey and Lara for the 2010 Friends Provident t20 failed to come to anything, Lara declared that he still wanted to sign a contract to play Twenty20 cricket.

Late in the year he joined Southern Rocks, a Zimbabwean side, to compete in the 2010 – 11 Stanbic Bank 20 Series.

On his debut for the Rocks, and his first-ever Twenty20 match, he scored a half-century, top-scoring for the Rocks with 65.

He added 34 runs in his next two innings, but then left the competition, citing " commitments elsewhere ".
