  • These sporting stars are celebrating.

    West Indies fast bowler Tino Best turns 35 and he has spent his 2016 summer playing county cricket with Hampshire.

    The Barbados-born star last represented the Windies in 2014 and has played in 25 Tests, 26 one-day internationals and six T20 matches.

    At his peak, Best was capable of bowling as fast as 92mph and in 2012 he made history by scoring the then highest score by a number 11 batsman, smashing 95 against England at Edgbaston.

    He was also involved in the now infamous sledging row at Lord’s with Andrew ‘Freddie’ Flintoff.
