West Indies captain Brian Lara, who led his team to victory against Sri Lanka, was named his country's Cricketer of the Year.

The left-handed batsman also contributed to victories for Trinidad and Tobago in the Carib Beer regional series, making him the clear favourite for the honour given by the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board.

Ravi Rampaul, who claimed the most wickets in a regional youth series, was named the Young Cricketer of the Year over the weekend.

West Indies coach Gus Logie delivered the keynote address at the banquet, saying all eyes would be on the team's
successful young players in the coming season.

"You will have to love it. Love the battle, love the  challenges, love to see the momentum shift, and you must not
be scared to defy the norm," he said.

Lara is holder of the world record scores in Test and  first-class cricket.
