Dinas to miss Leewards match as mom dies

Trinidad and Tobago cricketer Dinanath Ramnarine will miss this country’s final round Carib Beer Series regional cricket clash against the Leewards in St. Thomas due to the death of his mother Basdai yesterday.

Ramnarine, who also missed the match against Jamaica which ended yesterday at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain, has been at his ill mother’s side since his return from Barbados last week. Since then she has been fighting to stay alive but gave in yesterday morning. Basdai and her husband Ramnarine Ramsaroop were the parents of  nine children, with the West Indies spinner being the youngest. Ramnarine, who is president of the West Indies Players Association (WIPA), said  yesterday he was happy to spend the last few days with his mother but her death was a tremendous blow. The TT team as well as the West Indies cricketers have sent their condolences to the Ramnarine family as Charlieville, central Trinidad mourns the loss of a “mother” of the village. Basdai will be cremated tomorrow at the Waterloo Cremation Site at 11 am.
