Former England captain, Mike Brearley believes that former West Indies captain Sir Frank Worrell and the late T&T intellectual CLR James deserve a place in history, alongside Caribbean Nobel Laureates like economist Arthur Lewis and writers VS Naipaul and Derek Walcott. Brearley was speaking during the Sir Frank Worrell Memorial Committee’s 50th anniversary celebration of the legendary batsman’s appointment as West Indies captain at the Central Bank Auditorium in Port-of-Spain on Wednesday night. Worrell broke the colour barrier to become the first black man to ever lead the regional team for an entire Test series during its tour of Australia in 1960/61. Although the rubber was lost 2-1, the West Indies were hailed by the host country for their spirited approach to the game.
