Runako Morton 1978 - 2012


West Indies batsman Runako Morton has died in a car accident.

Reports in the Caribbean said the 33-year-old crashed into a utility pole while driving alone in central Trinidad.

Morton played in 15 Tests and 56 one-day internationals, with his last West Indies appearance coming against Australia in a Twenty20 match in 2010.

Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle tweeted: "We lost a true warrior WI cricketer. May his soul rest in peace!"

The West Indies Cricket Board said: "Our deepest condolences to Runako Morton's family. Such devastating and tragic news."
