Windward Islands Volcanoes batsman, Tyrone Theophile, has reportedly been airlifted to neighboring Martinique from Dominica where he will continue to receive treatment in the aftermath of a serious motor vehicle accident.

According to reports, Theophile suffered a fractured skull and spent the last few days being treated at the Intensive Care Unit of the Princess Margaret Hospital after being involved in a collision on Christmas Day.  The player was listed in stable condition before being airlifted to Martinique.

Reports indicate that Theophile was involved in a motorcycle accident in the vicinity of the Roseau Post Office in the capital city Roseau.

The opening batsman has captained the Volcanoes for a few seasons at the regional level and played a total of 68 first-class matches.  He has scored 3,055 runs at an average of 25.88.  He has also taken 18 wickets at 34 runs apiece with his off-spin.  Theophile has been one of the island’s best cricketers for a number of seasons.  He was a part of the team that won the regional Super50 title in 2017, the fourth time the islands were claiming the title.
