West Indies Offspinner Clyde Butts, 1980s Cricket Veteran, Dies at 66 in Tragic Accident
Clyde Butts, the West Indies offspinner prominent in the 1980s, passed away at the age of 66 in Guyana on Friday, reportedly in an accident. Captain of Guyana in the 1980s, Butts' first-class career spanned from 1980-81 to 1993-94, featuring 87 games. He played seven Tests, debuting against New Zealand in 1985, with subsequent appearances in Pakistan, New Zealand, and India. Despite a successful domestic career with 348 first-class wickets at an average of 24.19, including 23 five-wicket hauls, Butts faced challenges in international cricket. In seven Tests, he secured only ten wickets, with an average of 59.50, despite his success in the Caribbean circuit. Post-retirement, Butts contributed to West Indies cricket as the manager of the Under-19 team and later served as the chairman of selectors during West Indies' victory in the 2012 men's T20 World Cup.
