Members of the legendary West Indies team that won the 1975 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup have been honoured at the CWI/WIPA Awards.
Led by Sir Clive Lloyd, the Windies beat Australia by 17 runs to win the inaugural tournament.
During a ceremony hosted on Sunday in Barbados, homage was paid to the squad that reshaped the cricketing world 50 years ago.
The segment featured rare archival footage and standing ovations, as surviving team members or their families were presented with commemorative medallions and mahogany sculptures.
The one-of-a-kind pieces were carved from 25-year-old aged Barbados mahogany by award-winning artist Reginald Medford, with each sculpture reflecting the unique identity and contributions of the recipient.
Veteran broadcaster and commentator Joseph ‘Reds’ Perreira was also recognized for his longstanding service and contribution to the game.
