Legendary West Indies fast bowler Sir Curtly Ambrose reached yet another milestone over the weekend when he was conferred an Honorary Doctorate of Laws by the University of the West Indies (UWI) Five Islands Campus.

The 61-year-old Antiguan was recognized for his immense contributions, not only to West Indies cricket but also to the broader sporting and cultural fabric of the Caribbean.

Sir Curtly, who captured 630 wickets for the West Indies between 1988 and 2000, is known for his towering presence on and off the field and his exceptional talent, unwavering discipline, and extraordinary commitment which have earned him a place among the greatest fast bowlers in the history of the game.

Cricket West Indies president, Dr Kishore Shallow congratulated Sir Curtly, describing the honour as a “fitting tribute”.
“On behalf of the entire West Indies cricket family, I extend our warmest congratulations to Sir Curtly Ambrose on this remarkable achievement,” Shallow said.

“This Honorary Doctorate of Laws is a fitting tribute to his outstanding career and his broader contributions to society. Sir Curtly has been an ambassador for our region, both on the global stage of cricket and in his personal endeavours, demonstrating the best of West Indian pride, discipline, and passion.

“Sir Curtly Ambrose continues to be an inspiration not only to aspiring cricketers but to all of us across the Caribbean. We celebrate this well-deserved honour and remain forever grateful for his indelible contributions to West Indies cricket and our region’s heritage,” he added.
