Frank Worrell by Ivo Tennant

Frank Worrell by Ivo Tennant

Frank Worrell was one of the great West Indians of our time. He was the first black man to captain the West Indian cricket team on a regular basis, uniting cricketers from a widely scattered group of islands with differing cultures and history. Worrell was a brilliant batsman, perhaps the best of the legendary 'three W's' - Walcott, Wreeks and Worrell - who were all from Barbados. His average in his first Test series was 147, and he was successful though out his fifteen-year career as a Test cricketer. Worrell played his last Test match in England in 1963, when West Indians won the series with England 3-1. Knighted by the Queen in 1964, he continued to give distinguished service to the West Indies in academic, political and sporting life. His tragically early death at the age of forty-two was mourned throughout the West Indies and the cricketing world. With a Foreword by Clive Lloyd, and Postscript by Richie Benaud.
