Legendary West Indies batsman Sir Everton Weekes has died at the age of 95.
Weekes, who scored 4,455 runs at an average of 58.61 in 48 Tests, is the only man to make centuries in five consecutive Test innings.
He was one of the 'Three Ws' alongside fellow West Indies legends Sir Frank Worrell and Sir Clyde Walcott.
"Our hearts are heavy as we mourn the loss of an icon," said Cricket West Indies.
"A legend, our hero. Our condolences go out to his family, friends and many fans around the world."
Weekes was taken into intensive care in hospital in June 2019 after suffering a heart attack.
The Barbadian, who made his Test debut against England in 1948, retired in 1958 and received a knighthood in 1995.
