It is with great sadness we learn of the passing of Mr Owen Arthur, former Prime Minister of Barbados – cricket has lost a true friend. He was a dedicated and passionate cricket follower and supporter of West Indies cricket.
He played a key role in re-development of the historic Kensington Oval to host the Cricket World Cup 2007 and T20 World Cup 2010. CWI offers condolences to his family, friends and the people of Barbados.
