“On behalf of the West Indies Cricket Board, the West Indies Team and cricket lovers all across the Caribbean I want to send heartfelt greetings to the great Sir Everton Weekes on reaching this milestone in his life. He was one of our greatest cricketers and a true ambassador for the game. We hope he enjoys his birthday,” said Dr Hunte.

“Sir Everton belongs to a special group of West Indian cricketers. He was a pioneer in the early days of West Indies cricket and paved the way for what we have today. He is still very much involved in the game and he remains a cheerful, respectful and respected gentleman. Everyone is a fan of Sir Everton.”
