Geoff Greenidge

Geoffrey Alan Greenidge (born 26 May 1948) is a former West Indian cricketer who played in five Test matches from 1972 to 1973. His international career ended abruptly when he took part in a tour of Rhodesia, which was then under white minority rule.[1] On his first-class debut in 1966–67, he scored 205 runs and took seven wickets in the first innings of the match.[2]

Greenidge was the last white player to play for West Indies, until Joshua Da Silva made his debut in 2020.[3] For a time, it was believed that Brendan Nash had taken this distinction in 2008, but Nash was later revealed to be of mixed race.[4]
