West Indies fast-bowler Tino Best has an outrageous claim to have “slept with 500-650 women” while on tour with the West Indies between 2003 and 2014.Best is set to release his autobiography Mind the Windows on April 28, and the Daily Mail has released an extract from the book a week before its release.
The 34-year-old, renowned worldwide for being one of the fastest bowlers to have played the game, played an 11-year international career with the West Indies, including 25 tests, 26 ODI’s and 6 T20’S.
In the extract, Best states how after the mother of his child split up with him at the beginning of his international career, he became a self-confessed “man whore”.
“I love girls,” writes Best.
“Everywhere I went as a cricketer, I’d talk to girls, date girls and sleep with girls. I reckon I’ve slept with anywhere between 500 and 650 girls, all around the world.
“When she called it a day, I became a bit of a playboy,” writes Best
.
“Put it this way: I became a man whore.”
“If I liked a girl, I’d go and talk to them – whoever it was. If I’d seen Beyonce and she was single, I’d have gone and introduced myself: ‘Hello, my name’s Tino. What’s yours?’ No girl intimidated me.”
Best says being the youngest member of the West Indies squad, he was desperate to impress the senior players in the squad, and that he gained respect from them if he “pulled a girl”.
