Sir Everton Weekes to be buried alongside Frank Worrell and Clyde Walcott

Sir Everton Weekes, the oldest (95 years) West Indies Test cricketer who died in Barbados on Wednesday will be buried alongside Sir Frank Worrell and Sir Clyde Walcott, according to Conde Riley, the president of the Barbados Cricket Association. 

Speaking from Barbados, he said, "the family is chalking out the program for the funeral. Weeks will be buried on the grounds where both Sir Frank Worrell and Sir Clyde Walcott were buried at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies in Barbados". 

The 3Ws monument bearing the busts of this great trio of West Indies cricketers - Sir Frank Worrell, Sir Clyde Walcott and Sir Everton Weekes can be found at the University of the West Indies Cave Hill campus in Barbados.

Sir Gary Sobers, when approached, said, "The plot has been reserved for his resting. I would have loved to attend his funeral but I am not sure whether because of the COVID-19, I would be able to do so".  

"He was a great man. I met him a few times at the Kensington Oval, where he used to come and watch the match often. He was liked by everybody and has done so much good for West Indies cricket and Barbados in particular". 

Everton Weekes holds the Test record with the most number of consecutive Test centuries when he scored 5 in a row in 1948/49. He was controversially run out for 90 against India in the 1949 Chennai Test which would have taken him to 6 straight Test centuries

Now Sony Ramadhin, 91, is the oldest Test cricketer in West Indies. 

West Indies players will wear a black armband on the first days of the Test against England beginning next week, confirmed by the CWI chief Rickey Skerritt and the CEO Johnny Grave.
