I was not ‘fazed’ by being Viv’s son says Mali
Despite the insurmountable pressure to walk in his father’s footsteps, Mali Richards, son of cricketing legend Sir Vivian Richards, says it was a joy to have him as a father.
Many children of sports legends have felt the pressure put on by society due to their parents’ fame, but Richards, who is now making a name for himself as a cricket commentator, says it is a joy being the son of a national hero.
“It’s thoroughly enjoyable to be honest. Just looking back at it, it’s always been fun. We have had a few negatives that go along with that, but more often than not, it’s been very exciting and I enjoy being the son of Viv Richards,” said Richards.
