Former BCB executive leaves major legacy after half a century of service
The Bermuda Cricket Board (BCB) has led heartfelt tributes to long-serving administrator Gary Fray, describing him as a “true titan” who reshaped the island’s sporting landscape.
Regarded as a cornerstone of modern Bermudian cricket, Fray played an instrumental role in the early 1990s by orchestrating the unification of the island’s separate governing bodies into a single entity—a pivotal moment that modernised both domestic leagues and international pathways.
Across decades of service, Fray filled nearly every major executive brief at the BCB, including First Vice-President, Second Vice-President, and Treasurer.
Armed with 50 years of professional accounting experience, he introduced vital fiscal rigour and transparency during critical transition periods. As Chairman of the Disciplinary Committee, his fair, measured approach safeguarded the spirit of the game, ultimately earning him the International Cricket Council (ICC) Lifetime Service Award.
Locally, his name was synonymous with Warwick Workmen’s Club, an institution he joined at 16 before serving as Secretary, Treasurer, and President across more than half a century.
In a statement, the BCB praised Fray as a leader who “never sought the spotlight,” adding: “Gary represented the very best of Bermudian sportsmanship. The foundation you built will continue to support our sport for generations to come.”
