Cricket fraternity plunged into mourning, following the sudden death of veteran former BCA Secretary Philip Nicholls

The sudden death of veteran cricket administrator and former Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) secretary Philip Nicholls has sent shockwaves through the local cricket fraternity, with colleagues remembering him as a dedicated servant of the sport.

Nicholls, an attorney-at-law who also served as a West Indies Cricket Board director, died on Monday. He reportedly collapsed while appearing in the Supreme Court.

BCA marketing and communications manager Steven Leslie told Barbados TODAY that he first met Nicholls 35 years ago, while representing Combined Schools at the First Division cricket.
