For many, the year 2016 will be remembered for the passing of many famous celebrities.
However, it also marked the passing of many international cricketers and officials who served the game with distinction. Here we pay tribute to them - in chronological order in which they died:

Andy Ganteaume - Scored 112 in his only Test innings for the West Indies to have the highest Test batting average of them all
Martin Crowe - Kiwi legend who in 1987 became the first player to score 4,000 first-class runs in a calendar year for forty years. The only man to be dismissed for 299 in Test cricket
