Cricket West Indies today paid tribute to David Murray, the former Barbados and West Indies wicket-keeper who passed away on Friday night. He was 72.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Murray was the son of West Indies batting great Sir Everton Weekes. Murray\u2019s son Ricky Hoyte, represented Barbados and West Indies \u2018A\u2019 Team as a wicket-keeper\/batsman.<\/p>\n

Murray\u2019s first tour with the West Indies was in 1973 to England.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

He made his international debut in the second One-Day International by a West Indies men\u2019s team, which featured Lance Gibbs, Roy Fredericks Rohan Kanhai and Clive Lloyd.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

His Test debut came in 1978 against Australia in Guyana. Overall, he played 19 Tests, 10 One-Day Internationals and also 114 first-class matches.<\/p>\n

Ricky Skerritt, President of CWI paid tribute to Murray.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

\u201cOn behalf of CWI I want to offer my sincere condolences to Ricky, and other members of David\u2019s family and friends. David was a gifted wicket-keeper and a stylish middle-order batsman. He loved the game of cricket, and played with a smile on his face.<\/p>\n

He will be remembered as a member of the great West Indies squad which dominated world cricket for over a decade. Devoted West Indies Cricket fans still remember David\u2019s fantastic glove work and footwork behind the stumps to Michael Holding and other members of the fearsome West Indies fast bowling attack of his time.\u201d<\/p>
