About this episode
How apt that following West Indies miraculous performance to share the Frank Worrell Trophy, Trinidad and Tobago cricket journalist Vaneisa Baksh joined us to talk about her latest book 'Son of Grace' - a biography on the great Frank Worrell. A project that began in 2016 has ended with Baksh putting together the fruits of her archive hunting to write a comprehensive account of Frank Worrell and his life and legacy. We often say on the Caribbean Cricket Podcast that understanding the history of West Indies cricket is critical to understanding our identity as West Indian people and this book does that and then some. Son of Grace can be purchased in print and hardcopy wherever you buy your books and it is one we highly recommend. For three decades Vaneisa Baksh has written about cricket and the West Indies. Her work has appeared around the Caribbean and the globe for international cricket websites such as ESPNcricinfo and in the esteemed Wisden Almanack. Her MPhil in Cultural Studies from The University of the West Indies focused on West Indies cricket and cultural identity, such is her passion for the game. As always with the Caribbean Cricket Podcast we go into a level of depth and analysis on West Indies cricket that you wont hear anywhere else.
