Former West Indies and Lancashire spinner Sonny Ramadhin has died at the age of 92.
Ramadhin, the first East Indian to represent West Indies, played 43 Tests for his country, taking 158 wickets.
He helped West Indies to a 3-1 series victory over England in 1950, their first in the country, combining with Alf Valentine to take 59 wickets – including his own career best figures of 11 for 152 which came at Lord’s.

Ramadhin’s son-in-law Willie Hogg and grandson Kyle Hogg both went on to play for Lancashire.
“Sad day – great innings grandad,” Kyle Hogg wrote on Twitter.
