The 37-year-old Trinidadian holds the record for the top Test score (400 not out) and highest in the first-class game (501 not out).
He has scored more runs (11,953) in Test cricket than anyone, his 400 not out remains the highest individual score in Tests and his 501 not out for English county team Warwickshire in 1994 is unsurpassed in first-class cricket.
