Renowned for his work as a cricket writer, commentator and sports journalist, Tony Cozier passed away aged 75.

Cozier began his career as a teenager in 1958, and down the years became one of the distinguished voices of West Indian cricket in spite of never having played the game at the highest level.

In a career spanning five decades, Cozier worked across different mediums – print, radio, television, and more recently, the internet. In 1978, he authored the acclaimed book, The West Indies: 50 Years of Test Cricket.

The cricketing fraternity mourned his demise on Twitter, here are some of the things people said about him.
