Williams, who played 29 first class and 19 list ‘A’ matches, was a former Barbados captain and also represented the Jamaica Scorpions in franchise cricket. 

A formidable batsman and off spin bowler throughout his playing career, Williams was also an outstanding member of the popular St Catherine Sports and Social club in St Philip. 

He died peacefully in Barbados on November 4 at the age of 40. 

Barbados Cricket Association President (BCA) Conde Riley reflected on some fond memories of Kenroy Williams and highlighted his huge commitment to the game: “I have always admired Kenroy since his youth days playing for Barbados. I recall when he won the regional youth title as captain in Jamaica. He was a true warrior and a wonderful servant of the game. Kenroy was very committed to Barbados’ cricket and to his St Catherine Club in St Philip. He will be missed by all.” 

The Board of Directors and staff of the BCA wish to extend our sincere condolences to the family and friends of the late Kenroy Da Costa Williams. May he rest in peace. (PR)
