The Guyana Cricket Board mourns the passing of one of the great servants of the game of cricket in the West Indies, Mr. Joey Carew.
In a release from the GCB, glowing tribute was paid to the former cricketer for his service:
“Mr. Carew first represented his native Trinidad and Tobago as a left handed opening batsman over 50 years ago and by consistent performances earned a place in the West Indies team during the 1960s, playing alongside the Guyanese greats like Rohan Kanhai, Basil Butcher, Joe Solomon and Lance Gibbs. Some of the older cricket fans in Guyana would have seen him at Bourda as an attractive opening batsman and as an astute leader of his men.”
“He demonstrated a keen knowledge of the game and good leadership skills which led to his being appointed captain of the Trinidad national side and later to the administration of Trinidad and West Indies Cricket.
Mr. Carew has been Chairman of WICB’s panel of selectors and holds the distinction of being the longest serving member. He would have been saddened by the decline of West Indies cricket over the past two decades and by the absence of world class cricketers emerging from our region.”
“His hope and expectations for a resurgence in his lifetime were not to be fulfilled.
The GCB laments his passing and extends sincerest condolences to his family and to the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board and the cricketing public of that island who have lost a true friend and dedicated servant.”
LISTEN HOW JAGDEO WILL MAKE ALL GUYANESE RICH!!!
