Cricket legends Clyde Potts and Joe Solomon have sadly passed away.
The duo’s deaths were announced on the same day by Cricket West Indies.
Both announcements were made Friday night as Potts and Solomon were confirmed dead.
Potts, 66, captained Guyana and was an irregular player for the West Indies during his playing career.
After his retirement he spent some time as chief selector for the West Indies.
Solomon also starred for both Guyana and the West Indies during the 1950s and 1960s.
The batsman is best known for the run that led to the first ever drawn Test match against Australia at the Gabba in 1960.
He was also the oldest living West Indies cricketer at the age of 93 years.
Cricket fans were quick to praise both players on social media following the news.
“RIP Legend,” one devastated fan wrote after Sulaiman’s death was announced.
Another also paid his respects to Pats, commenting: “This is sad news, my thoughts are with Clyde’s family and friends.”
Their deaths came on the eve of England’s final one-day international match against the West Indies in Barbados.
The three-match series is currently tied at 1-1, with the two teams also scheduled to play five T20 matches this month.
