TTCB mourns late WI batsman Nurse
THE TT Cricket Board (TTCB) has extended condolences on the passing of ex-Barbados and West Indies cricketer Seymour Nurse, who died on Monday at the Queens Elizabeth Hospital in Bridgetown, after ailing for some time.
President of the TTCB Azim Bassarath said, on Tuesday, that regional cricket had lost one of its icons who represented the true spirit of West Indies cricket.
Seymour Nurse was natural stroke-player who believed that the cricket ball should be hit and was one of the earliest batting stars to emerge from the Caribbean in a spectacular fashion, he said.
Bassarath said the passing of Nurse had left a void in West Indies cricket, but that he had left indelible memories of a fearless warrior who was not afraid to take the attack to opposing bowlers.
He said that, apart from his prowess on the cricket field when he struck terror in the minds of opponents, Nurse conducted himself like a gentleman off the field and was a worthy ambassador of Barbados and West Indies cricket.
