Abstract
This chapter tries to assess the contribution that Walcott made to cricket as a player, administrator and global icon, with particular reference to his role in challenging racial and social inequalities. It concludes that Walcott was one of the most important figures the game has ever seen, not just in the sphere of West Indies cricket, but in the game as a whole.
