Former Irish Cricket Union (ICU) president and chairman Bob Kerr has died of a suspected heart attack in Jamaica.

Kerr (68), was staying at the Jamaica Sunset Grand Hotel in the Oche Rios resort on the north coast of the island when he died early yesterday.

Kerr was a retired headmaster, and played all his cricket for North Fermanagh, a club he helped set up.

Ireland coach Adrian Birrell said: "This is tragic news, and on behalf of the entire squad and management I'd like to pass on our sympathy and condolences to his wife, Hope, and his family circle. Bob was a great ambassador for Irish cricket."

Kerr was ICU chairman from 2000-02 and president three years ago.
