World Series Cricket ended in 1979 after the Australia XI tour to West Indies. The side was captained by former England captain Tony Greig, who was assigned to recruit his teammates. Greig's former England teammates Derek Underwood, Dennis Amiss, John Snow and star wicketkeeper Alan Knott were signed along with many players from Pakistan, including national icon Imran Khan. Rest of the World XI also offered competitive international class cricket to players from South Africa, who were currently banned from international cricket. Stars such as Barry Richards, Garth Le Roux and Mike Procter played superbly in WSC underlining their true class.
