Former West Indies captain Sir Clive Lloyd was conferred with the prestigious Order of the Caribbean Community at the 47th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), held in Grenada on Sunday.
Sir Clive Lloyd, who captained the West Indies team to two consecutive World Cup victories in 1975 and 1979, has been a towering figure in the cricketing world, according to Cricket West Indies who congratulated Lloyd in a media release.
His achievements have left an indelible mark on the history of the game, and his influence extends far beyond his playing days and the cricket boundary, as he continues to inspire future generations of cricketers.
The OCC is the highest honor bestowed by the Caribbean Community, recognising individuals who have made outstanding contributions to the development and integration of the region. Sir Clive Lloyd’s receipt of this honour underscores his role as a unifying figure and a beacon of Caribbean pride.
