Son of Grace

Son of Grace: Frank Worrell (Fairfield Books) by Vaneisa Baksh presents the remarkable life, on and off the cricket field, of Jamaican all-rounder Frank Worrell. Published a hair’s breadth away from the centenary of Worrell’s birth, Son of Grace tracks the pioneering cricketer’s significant strides made in the game, against jarring social and racial inequities. Baksh illustrates how Worrell — the first Black man to hold a West Indies captaincy — led sports teams and wider communities with a consummately fair-minded ethos.
