\u2022\u00a0Sir Curtly\u00a0Elconn Lynwall\u00a0Ambrose<\/strong>\u00a0of Antigua\u00a0andBarbuda for contributions to Cricket \u2013\u00a0Doctor of Laws\u00a0<\/em>(LLD<\/em>)\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Curtly Elconn Lynwall Ambrose<\/strong><\/p>

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

Sir Curtly Elconn Lynwall Ambrose, affectionately called \u2018Ambi\u2019, is a proud Antiguan and Caribbean son whose supreme fast bowling contributed to legendary West Indian cricket in the nineties. Described as one of the \u2018greatest pacemen ever\u2019, the 6 foot 8 inches tall sportsman was a somewhat reluctant cricketer in childhood. However, encouraged by his mother, he later became one of the West Indies top fast bowlers and one of Antigua\u2019s four cricket knights. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Curtly\u2019s career started with the All-Saints Secondary School junior cricket team and the Swetes Cricket team in 1984. In 1985, he was selected to play for Antigua\u2019s National Team after which he played club cricket in England for Chester Boughton Hall in the Cheshire League (1986) and for Heywood in the Central Lancashire League (1987) refining his techniques.  <\/p>

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

In 1988, he returned to the Caribbean and played in the Leeward Islands Cricket regional first-class competition, where he broke the regional record of 33 wickets taken, and set a new record of 35.  He was selected for the West Indies Cricket Team in the same year.  In total, Ambi played 98 test matches, taking 405 wickets with an average of 20.99; 176 one day internationals (ODIs), and 225 wickets averaged at 24.1. <\/p>

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

Some of his career highlights, securing West Indian victories, include seven wickets for one run in 32 balls against Australia at Perth (1992\/1993); sixwickets for 34 runs against South Africa in Barbados (1992); and the match against England in Trinidad (1994), where he bowled England out for 46 runs achieving sixwickets for 24 runs.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Curtly\u2019s contribution to West Indies Cricket is written in history and he was inducted into the ICC Hall of Fame in 2011 and later knighted in 2014 in Antigua and Barbuda. In 2016 his autobiography \u2018Sir Curtly Ambrose: Time to Talk\u2019 was published. He is currently working with the other three cricketing knights of Antigua to establishthe Four Knights Cricket Academy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sir Curtly remains passionate about cricket. With a Level III certification in coaching, has served as the bowling coach for the West Indies\u2019 senior men\u2019s team (2014-2016). He has also worked with the West Indies U-19 team and several T20 franchises in the Caribbean Premier League\u00a0(CPL).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
