 Not done You didn't mention what kind of change you want to be made in the article. The request should be of he form "Please change X to Y". - Fylindfotberserk (talk) 18:11, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Edit Request:

"Regarded as one of the greatest captains of the Cricket World". This is an opinion. There is no citation for this nor is it a commonly accepted statement in the cricketing world. It looks like this was written by one of his Bengali fans. Strongly requesting to remove this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hayleycarr (talk • contribs) 03:14, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
