The cricketing fraternity has been plunged into a state of mourning after news began circulating yesterday that former Guyana and West Indies off-spinner Clyde Butts perished in a vehicle accident that occurred at Eccles, East Bank Demerara on Friday.
However, no details of the accident were revealed up to press time.
The 66-year-old Butts had been a member of the West Indies team during the 1980s, and had played a total of 7 Test matches, 87 First Class matches, and 32 List A games before serving as Chairman of the West Indies Selectors for an extended period of time in the early 2000s.
