Kaieteur Sports – President Bissoondyal Singh, the Executives and Staff of the Guyana Cricket Board extend profound condolences on the passing of former Guyana cricketer Sydney Jackson Matthews.

Matthews represented Guyana with distinction during a first-class career that spanned from 1970 to 1988. He was among the pioneering Guyanese cricketers selected for the inaugural West Indies Under-19 tour of the United Kingdom in 1970 and later represented the West Indies President’s XI against New Zealand in 1972.

A talented and highly versatile bowler, Matthews began his career as a fast bowler before successfully transitioning to leg-spin.
