Lennox John, prominent cricket administrator, passes away

Cricket commentator Joseph “Reds” Perreira has paid tribute to Lennox John, a prominent cricket administrator who passed away on August 2 in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

John held several significant leadership roles, including 27 years as a senior administrator for the St Vincent and the Grenadines Cricket Association, serving 17 of those years as president. His influence extended to the Windward Islands Cricket Board, which he led for 16 years, and the West Indies Cricket Board, where he served for 24 years.

Perreira, a colleague and friend of John for over four decades, described him as a dedicated professional who contributed significantly to the sport without seeking personal recognition. He highlighted John’s success as the manager of the West Indies Youth team during the ICC World Cup in England and his efforts to develop grassroots cricket through education and media networking within the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS).
