Famous for his marron floppy hat, free-flowing style of play, and astute leadership qualities, former West Indies captain Richie Richardson was an epitome of everything that symbolized a quintessential Caribbean cricketer- flair (lots of flair), panache, bloody-mindedness.

Richardson featured in a total of 86 Tests and 224 ODI for the West Indies, in which he racked up 5949 and 6248 runs respectively at an average of 44.4 and 33.23 which also included 16 Test hundreds and 5 ODI tons.

Richardson was knighted by the Antiguan government in 2014 for his services towards the game.
