Guyanese of all walks of life but more so from the cricket fraternity yesterday reacted with shock to the news that the former Guyana and West Indies middle-order batsman, the legendary Basil Butcher was no more.
Tributes came from the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), President of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB) and current West Indies selector Roger Harper who also weighed on the former cricket icon’s passing.
“It was with great sorrow that the executives and staff of the Guyana Cricket Board learnt of the passing of former Guyana and West Indies batsman, Basil Fitzherbert Butcher,” the statement from the GCB read.
