Garfield Sobers

Barbadian cricketer (1936–2026)

Sir Garfield St Auburn (or Aubrun) Sobers (28 July 1936 – 17 July 2026), also known as Gary or Garry Sobers, was a Barbadian cricketer who played for the West Indies between 1954 and 1974. A highly skilled and aggressive batsman, a versatile bowler and an excellent fielder, he is widely considered to be cricket's greatest ever all-rounder and one of the greatest cricketers of all time. Born in Bridgetown, Barbados, Sobers made his first-class debut for the Barbados cricket team at the age of 16 in 1953, and his Test debut for the West Indies the following year.
