I was deeply saddened to learn of the passing of Barbados’ National Hero, The Right Excellent Sir Garfield Sobers.

Sir Garfield was recognized by cricketing nations around the world as the greatest all-rounder of all time.

As a schoolboy, I witnessed his outstanding performance at Kensington Oval, where he played fearlessly against the English fast bowler John Snow.

Sir Garfield was an outstanding citizen and a true son of the soil. He was kind, humble, hardworking, and deeply committed to excellence. He represented Barbados with distinction and inspired generations through both his achievements and his character. He was truly a legend of his time.

I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends and to all those whom he inspired.

May he rest in eternal peace.

Barbados mourns the passing of one of its greatest sons.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade extends its deepest condolences on the passing of one of our National Heroes, the Right Excellent Sir Garfield St. Auburn Sobers.

Sir Garfield was more than a cricketing legend. He was a symbol of excellence whose name, talent and achievements carried the pride of Barbados to every corner of the world. Through his extraordinary career and his remarkable contribution to the sport, he inspired generations and established a legacy that transcends cricket.

We honour a life that brought distinction to our nation and made an indelible contribution to the history of world sport.

The Ministry extends its deepest sympathies to his family and loved ones.

A well played knock comes to an end but the legacy of Sir Garry will endure for years to come.

May he rest in peace.
