President of the West Indies Cricket Board, WICB, Julian Hunte described the death of umpire Clyde Duncan as an immense loss to the regional cricket fraternity.
Duncan died yesterday in Trinidad and Tobago where he was undergoing treatment for cancer. He was 57.
Hunte says Duncan served West Indies cricket faithfully for over two decades and was always humble in his service.
Duncan’s international career spanned 22 years after he made his debut in a One Day International match between West Indies and Pakistan in his homeland Guyana in 1988.
He last stood in an international during South Africa’s tour of the region last year when he officiated in the second One Day International.
