National Sports Commission sends condolences on the death of Tony Cozier

on behalf of the Government and people of the Cooperative Republic of Guyana I extend deepest condolences to the wife Jillian, children Craig and Natalie, relatives, friends, Government and people of Barbados, West Indies cricket and the global cricket family on the passing of the legendary Tony Cozier.

Cozier was unquestionably the leading cricket commentator and writer in the Caribbean. His passing will leave a void that will not be filled. He was a cricketing institution who graced our shores annually to report and commentate on cricket. He loved Guyana and our people and the Guyanese cricketing fraternity and cricket fans everywhere will certainly miss his insight into the game.

He had a lifelong passion and love for cricket that exuded in his commentary and writings.

We pray that his soul rest in peace and his rich legacy lives on forever.
