About William Jeffrey Cricketer

  • William Michael Jeffrey (21 June 1950 – 2 September 1993) was a Guyanese cricketer who represented the Guyanese national team in West Indian domestic cricket.
  • He was an all-rounder who bowled right-arm off-spin and batted right-handed. Jeffrey was born in the town of Rose Hall, in what is now Guyana's East Berbice-Corentyne region.
  • He made his first-class debut for Guyana in a match against Jamaica during the 1969–70 Shell Shield season.
  • Jeffrey took figures of 3/64 and 1/46 on debut, and remained in Guyana's team for the entire season.
  • However, he made only one Shell Shield appearance the following season, against Trinidad and Tobago.
  • In late 1971, Jeffrey represented Berbice in the final of the inter-county Jones Cup, which at the time held first-class status.
  • He failed to take a wicket as a bowler, but as a batsman scored 78 runs from third in the batting order, his only first-class half-century.
  • After a gap of almost seven years, Jeffrey returned to the Guyanese national team in February 1978 for one final Shell Shield match, against Trinidad and Tobago.
  • After retiring from playing, he took up coaching, eventually being appointed coach of the national under-19 team in 1989.
  • He was the first full-time coach of a Guyanese national team at any level, and in 1992 won the award for Guyana's best sports coach of the year.
  • Jeffrey died in September 1993, aged only 43.
