The executive and staff of Guyana Cricket Board expresses their heartiest congratulations to former Guyana and West Indies captain, Clive Hubert Lloyd, on having been bestowed the order of St Michael and St George Knight Commander, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) stated in a release yesterday.
The knighthood is very commendable and fitting, since the cricketing Icon has given humane service to West Indies cricket as a player, Match Referee, Match Manager and as a cricketing icon. Lloyd joined the likes of Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Vivian Richards, Sir Andy Roberts, Sir Curtly Ambrose among others.
Lloyd who was born in Georgetown, British Guiana, on the 31st August 1944, made his debut for British Guiana at the tender age of 19, and went on to debut for the West Indies against India in Mumbai, in 1966. Lloyd who in his first Test match at Brabourne Stadium, scored two half centuries, finished his test career with 7515 runs in 110 test, at an average of 46.67. He played 87 ODI’s scored 1977, at an average 39.5.
Lloyd took up the captaincy role on the 1974-75 against India and is considered the greatest test and one day captain. He was instrumental in leading West Indies to their World Cup title in 1975 and 1979 played a significance role during the pinnacle years of West Indies Cricket. Lloyd was in 1971 named Wisden Cricketer of the year.
The GCB is grateful for Clive Lloyd’s service to cricket development in Guyana and the region and wishes him continued success in his endeavors.
The executive and staff of Guyana Cricket Board also congratulates former Barbados and West Indies opening batsman Gordon Greenidge on receiving a similar knighthood, the release stated.
