“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," said Best in his book.

He seemed a moderate success even in his best playing years, but it now turns out former West Indies fast bowler Tino Best may have made more conquests outside the cricket field.

At least, that is what he claims in his autobiography 'Mind the Windows: My Story'. The book, set for release later this month, reveals that Best had sex with 500-650 women while he toured with the West Indies cricket team.

The excerpts from his book, reported by news.com.au, read: “I love girls and the girls love me. I reckon I’m the best-looking bald-headed guy in the world. I joke about being the black Brad Pitt!

“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.”

Best, who played 25 Tests and 26 ODIs for West Indies, announced his retirement from international cricket in January to play in the Masters Champions League in Dubai. To participate in the MCL, one has to retire from international cricket.

Best said that he would pick and choose whoever he wanted to date. "I used to go on five or six dates a week, all with different girls.

“So, yes, I was a man whore. I’d have to juggle them round. One on one day, another on another day. I was young and loving the lifestyle.”

The book is named 'Mind the Windows' on a incident where Andrew Flintoff famously sledged Best into throwing his wicket away. During the WI's tour of England in 2004, Flintoff, standing in the slip cordon, told Best to 'mind the windows,' and a riled Best was out stumped next ball as he went for a big hit.

Best admitted that the girls are great but the best thing about being a cricketer is the days on the field. “Nothing can beat pulling on the whites of your country and going into battle.

“It’s a feeling like no other. Some people ask me the worst thing about being a cricketer and, you know what? There isn’t a single thing I don’t enjoy.”
