Former West Indian all-rounder Bernard Julien, who was part of the World Cup-winning team in 1975, passed away in Northern Trinidad at the age of 75.

Julien, a left-arm seamer and a right-handed batter, made 24 Test appearances for West Indies, scoring 866 runs at an average of 30.92, while taking 50 wickets at 37.36. In ODIs, he claimed 18 wickets at 25.72.

“To the family, friends, and loved ones of Bernard Julien, we extend our deepest condolences. His passing reminds us that a life devoted to purpose never truly leaves us… we hope Bernard knew he was valued and loved by the cricketing family he helped to shape,” said the West Indies Cricket Board in a statement.

Julien played a prominent hand in the inaugural ODI World Cup, claiming four-wicket hauls against Sri Lanka in the group stage and New Zealand in the semifinal. In the final, against Australia, he scored a vital 36-ball 27 in the first innings, setting up West Indies’ 17-run win.
