The cricket association in Dominica and the rest of the Caribbean is in mourning after the death of cricketer Irvine Shillingford. He was 78 years old.

He was one gifted batter who made his first-class debut at the age of 16.

Dominica Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has issued a statement of condolence saying he is deeply saddened by the passing of Dominican cricketing legend Irving Shillingford.

He stated: We have lost a true icon who brought great joy to the cricket-loving Dominican public. He stood as an example of all that was achievable for Dominican players of the most beloved sport in the West Indies. He played for the West Indies Cricket Team in 1977/78 and remains the only Dominican to score a test century. For a brief moment, he represented the dreams and aspirations of many Dominican cricketers who hoped to achieve similar glory.

He never lost his love for the game, managing his local club, Cavaliers, well into his sixties and inspiring young cricketers to pursue their own passion for the sport. He was also a national voter for many years.

Irving Shillingford was a source of pride for all of us and his name is forever etched in the minds and hearts of the Dominican people. We will continue to honor his memory and celebrate his legacy.

On behalf of the government and people of Dominica, I extend my sincere and heartfelt condolences to his family and others mourning his passing.

Meanwhile, the Dominica Cricket Association said in a statement that the cricket fraternity in Dominica and by extension in the Caribbean is mourning the loss of Irvine Theodore Shillingford, a former West Indies cricketer from Dublanc.

The Dominica Cricket Association extends its condolences to the family and all affected by the passing of Irvine Shillingford.

Irvine, the right-handed batsman, will be remembered for the four Tests and two ODIs in 1977 and 1978 he played. He also played a further 88 first-class matches, 49 of them for the Combined Islands, which he represented from its inception in 1961 until the team’s disbandment in 1981.
