With thanks, Sir Vivian described it as a dream come true. He acknowledged that his late parents played a significant role in fostering the confidence that propelled him to success.
After accepting the bank’s first $2 note, Sir Vivian remarked, “To be honored in such a way is something dreams are made of,” as reported by islandpressbox.com.
Together with the note release, Sir Vivian is organizing a charity golf game. All revenues from the event will go toward aiding the renal failure support organization, the Antigua and Barbuda Renal Society. The ECCB has committed XCD $25,000 for this purpose.
Because of Sir Vivian’s profound influence on the West Indian community and his unwavering position on important issues impacting Black Caribbean people, she was selected for this accolade. More than just a game, he saw cricket as the Caribbean’s contribution to the worldwide struggle against racism and white supremacy.
People who pursue financial success in the modern era will never be as wealthy as Sir Viv: Camillo Gonsalves
The ECCB Monetary Council Chairman, Camillo Gonsalves, emphasized Sir Vivian’s outspoken position on these matters. Gonsalves voiced concern that contemporary cricket players were putting their financial gain ahead of the team’s unity, drawing a comparison between their values and Sir Vivian’s unshakable ones.
“Today, apartheid rears its head in new places and takes on new forms, evolving into genocide, and our athletes remain silent.” However, Sir Viv was never silent. These days, the West Indies cricket team’s cohesiveness is so important that the players are so focused on making money. According to Camillo Gonsalves, “those who chased money in South Africa during the apartheid era and those who chase money today will never find themselves on money like Sir Viv does today.”
Before retiring, Sir Vivian Richards, who was regarded as the greatest hitter of his period, dominated international cricket for nearly twenty years. He is still the only skipper to have never lost a Test series while leading the West Indies to 27 triumphs between 1984 and 1991.
