The entire CWI family are deeply saddened,” Jimmy Adams, CWI direct of cricket, said. “Ezra was one of our region’s premier fast bowlers from the late '70s through the '80s and into the early '90s, when he went on to play for the West Indies after playing professionally in the Caribbean, England and South Africa.”
“After his playing day were over Ezra continued to serve cricket in the region by coaching at the junior levels in Barbados and moving into positions with our international women’s team. On behalf of CWI, I want to extend our sincere condolences to his family and let them know they are in our thoughts and prayers at this time.”
West Indies allrounder Deandra Dottin also paid to tribute the fast bowler and remembered Moseley’s efforts as a coach.
“Mr Moseley was a very good cricket coach who helped the players in all departments and he was a great team player,” Dottin said.
“As a member of the Barbados team, we benefited from his coaching and advice and also when he was our coach with the West Indies team. It’s a really sad day to see him gone. He did a fantastic job for the players and the game. He was a wonderful man."
