 BCB President IslandStats.com The President of the Bermuda Cricket Board said, “On behalf of the Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) Executive Board, staff, and the entire Bermuda Cricket Board family, I extend our deepest condolences to Winston Reid's family, friends, and loved ones.
Winston was a titan of Bermudian cricket. As a prolific opening batter, he set standard after standard at the crease, consistently demonstrating technical excellence, mental fortitude, and immense pride in representing his adopted island home. His international contributions—most notably as part of Bermuda’s pioneering squads in the 1979, 1982, and 1986 ICC Trophy tournaments—helped lay the very foundation for Bermuda's footprint on the global cricket stage.
His commitment to local domestic cricket was equally legendary. Whether anchoring innings in domestic leagues or making his mark in the historic Cup Match classic for Somerset Cricket Club, Winston possessed one of Bermuda's sharpest cricket minds.
When his playing days came to an end, Winston seamlessly transitioned into coaching, mentoring, and administrative roles. As a head coach, national selector, and tireless advocate for the game, he dedicated countless hours to nurturing young talent and instilling the principles of discipline, fitness, and passion for cricket. He leaves behind a generation of players whose careers were directly shaped by his guidance, patience, and deep love for the sport.
Bermuda cricket has lost a true legend, a mentor, and a steadfast servant to the game. Winston’s legacy will forever be etched into the history of our grounds, our clubs, and our hearts.
May he rest in peace.”
