West Indies cricket great Michael Holding, who came out in support of the `Black Lives Matter` movement, has been named the `Best Pundit` at the SJA British Sports Journalism Award 2020. Holding had delivered a powerful message against racism during last year`s England-West Indies series, saying that blacks have been dehumanised and their accomplishments wiped off from a history "written by people who do the harm."

The awards were hosted online due to the COVID-19 pandemic. "It is something that has been in me and in my head for many, many years," `Sky Sports` quoted Holding as saying in his video acceptance speech. "People don`t understand what it is like to go through life and always thinking that people think less of you than what you think of yourself," he added.
