Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) in collaboration with the Georgetown Cricket Club (GCC) will be hosting a night of wake for the late Ivor Leon Mendonca this evening at the GCC pavilion at 18:00 hours.
Mendonca passed away on July 14, 2014 at the age of 79. He was a former West Indian cricketer who played in two Test matches in 1962.
The wicket-keeper batsman played for British Guiana from 1958-59 to 1961-62. On his first-class debut against Barbados he opened the batting and scored 74 and 27, and in his second match, also against Barbados, he made 5 and 69. He later batted down the order.
The public is invited to the wake.
