St John’s − Cricket West Indies (CWI) has expressed heartfelt condolences to Windies U19 player Joshua Persaud on the death of his mother, who died in a car accident in the United States.
Persaud has been a part of the Windies U19 team currently participating at the ICC U19 Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. All arrangements were made by CWI to allow him to immediately depart for Guyana to be with family and close ones during this difficult time.
Both Persaud and injured player Raymond Perez left New Zealand last night and are on their way back home to Guyana. Brad Barnes will depart the Caribbean today, en route to New Zealand to replace Perez. No replacement has been requested for Persaud.
CWI sends its prayers and thoughts to the Persaud family and with Joshua’s teammates in New Zealand during this time. (PR)
