Antigua, Feb 28: Sonny Ramadhin, a former West Indies spinner who was a member of the team that won the first away series in England in 1950 and was described as a “pioneer” of the game, has died at the age of 92, according to officials.

Ramadhin, a Trinidad and Tobago native, took 158 wickets at an average of 28.98 in 43 Tests, including match numbers of 11-152 when the West Indies won their first-ever Test match in England at Lord’s 72 years ago.

“On behalf of CWI, I want to express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Sonny Ramadhin, one of the great pioneers of West Indies cricket. Mr Ramadhin made an impact from the moment he first stepped onto the field of World Cricket,” board president Ricky Skerritt said.

“Many stories are told of his tremendous feats on the 1950 tour when he combined with Alf Valentine to form cricket’s ‘spin twins’ as West Indies conquered England away from home for the first time,” he added.

“This iconic tour is part of our rich cricket legacy, which was pioneered by Mr. Ramadhin and others of his generation. His English exploit was celebrated in a famous calypso – and is still remembered more than 70 years later. Today we salute Sonny Ramadhin for his outstanding contribution to West Indies cricket.”
