Description

Frank Worrell: A Life of Cricketing Brilliance The story of Frank Worrell, the first permanent Black captain of the West Indies cricket team, is one of transformation and triumph. Denied leadership for over a decade due to racism and elitism, Worrell's chance finally came in 1960, and he led his team to unforgettable series against Australia and England. A talented cricketer with a remarkable record, Worrell was universally admired as one of cricket's great captains when he was knighted in 1964. However, his life was cut short just three years later at the age of 42. This biography reveals how Worrell's upbringing in Barbados, adventures around the world, and determination shaped him into a great West Indian who changed the game forever. With a foreword by Sir Clive Lloyd, this book is the definitive telling of Frank Worrell's life and legacy, shedding light on his remarkable journey from talented cricketer to inspiring leader.
