Retired West Indies batting great Brian Lara is among four regional stalwarts to receive the Order of the Caribbean Community, according to a CMC Sports report.
Lara, who holds the batting world record for the highest individual scores Test (400 not out) and First-Class (501 not out), was named for the honour, along with Professor Rex Nettleford, Dr Nicholas Joseph Orville Liverpool and the Honourable George Lamming.
CARICOM made the announcement as regional leaders wrapped up their 19th Inter-sessional meeting Saturday evening.
CARICOM said the "Heads of Government considered the nominees for the Sixth Conferment of the Order of the Caribbean Community and agreed" on the names of outstanding Caribbean citizens to be awarded the honour.
"The conferment of these awards will take place at the Twenty-Ninth Regular Meeting to be held in July 2008 in Antigua and Barbuda," CARICOM stated.
Lara, 38, retired from international cricket last year April after the West Indies' exit from the ICC Cricket World Cup (CWC) in the Caribbean, bringing to an end a fine career that elevated him to the level of an all-time great.
He finished his career with 11, 953 Test runs, at the moment still the highest aggregate in the history of the game.
