Cricketer
Frank Worrell
The first Black man appointed captain of the West Indies for a full series, and the man who turned a set of islands into a team. He died of leukaemia at forty-two.
Sir Frank Mortimer Maglinne Worrell, sometimes referred to by his nickname of "Tae", was a Barbadian West Indies cricketer and Jamaican senator. A stylish right-handed batsman and useful left-arm seam bowler, he became famous in the 1950s as the first black captain of the West Indies cricket team. Along with Everton Weekes and Clyde Walcott, he formed what was known as "The Three Ws" of the West Indian cricket. He was the first batter to have been involved in two 500-run partnerships and remained the only one until Ravindra Jadeja emulated him in the 2010s.
