West Indies legendary spinner Sonny Ramadhin passes away at 92 by Cricbuzz Staff • Published on ShareTweet 
Sonny Ramadhin, West Indies’ legendary spinner, passed away at age of 92. Having had made his Test debut against England at Old Trafford in 1950, he ended up playing 43 Tests returning 158 wickets at an average of 28.98.
“On behalf of CWI I want to express our deepest sympathy to the family and friends of Sonny Ramadhin, one of the great pioneers of West Indies cricket,”CWI President Ricky Skerritt said on Sunday (February 27). “Mr Ramadhin made an impact from the moment he first stepped onto the field of World Cricket. Many stories are told of his tremendous feats on the 1950 tour when he combined with Alf Valentine to form cricket’s ‘spin twins’ as West Indies conquered England away from home for the first time.
“This iconic tour is part of our rich cricket legacy, which was pioneered by Mr. Ramadhin and others of his generation. His English exploit was celebrated in a famous calypso – and is still remembered more than 70 years later. Today we salute Sonny Ramadhin for his outstanding contribution to West Indies cricket.”
He was a part of West Indies’ historic first Test win in England back in 1950 where he returned 11-152. West Indies went on to win the series 3-1.
