West Indies legend Sir Curtly Ambrose is among 13 luminaries being presented with honorary doctorates from the University of the West Indies next month.

These are being presented among the five UWI Campuses, with Sir Curtly receiving his Doctor of Laws from the Five Islands Campus for his contribution to cricket.

The Antiguan has been inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame, was a highly feared fast bowler, and currently serves as a coach, mentor and commentator in the sport.

Meanwhile, the UWI St. Augustine Campus will honour two this year.

They are Dr Maniram Ragbir, a Plastic Surgeon from T&T and Britian, as well as Dr. Patricia Rodney of Guyana for her work as a Medical Practitioner and Human Rights Defender.
