Frank Worrell, the first permanent Black captain of the West Indies cricket team, transformed his team – and changed the game forever. Cricket writer and BBC producer Simon Lister’s illuminating biography tackles the elitism and racism which Worrell faced, reflecting on the emergence of a post-colonial Caribbean identity through the life of an exceptional sportsman. A fascinating conversation with Simon Parker, a regular on BBC Stumped, who has reported on cricket from around the world.
