Tributes paid after death of former England and Surrey cricketer
"He has been taken too soon"
Tributes are being paid to former England and Surrey cricketer Joey Benjamin following his death on Monday.
Surrey County Cricket Club says the St Kitts-born fast bowler died of a heart attack, aged 60.
The club flag on top of the Micky Stewart Members’ Pavilion at the Kia Oval is at half mast.
Joey played one Test and two one-day internationals for England during the 1990s.
He took 387 first-class wickets.
On its website, Surrey CCC Chairman Richard Thompson said: "I’ve known Joey for 25 years and have gloried in his triumphs. I particularly remember the final Test at The Oval in 1994, where his performance earned him an Ashes tour. It was a long time coming as anyone who watched him bowl that season would testify.
"Everything he did was with a smile and grace. He wore the brown cap very proudly with absolute distinction and will be long remembered at Surrey County Cricket Club. He has been taken too soon."
