All have distinguished themselves in their professional and sporting lives.

Each of the honouree and their spouse will be hosted in the President’s suite at one of the warm up games here in March.

They will take the toss at the start of play, to decide which of the teams will bat or field. At the end of the game, they will make the Man of the Match presentation.

CEO of the Local Organising Committee, Michael Findlay, has expressed his delight with the selection of the four Vincentians.

Findlay says “as a Vincentian I am happy with the decision of the CWC to honour these four distinguished persons, who have made outstanding contributions to the State, in their professional and sporting careers”.

A total of 55 Caribbean nationals will be honoured by the ICC CWC 2007, under the Outstanding Caribbean Citizens programme.
