Edda, as he was fondly known to everyone in the cricket circuit in Switzerland has passed away peacefully on the morning of 27 September 2022.
He was the founding member of Nomads cricket club in Zurich in 1984 and was associated with the club till the end. He was ever-present at all the games of Nomads CC until recently and was passionate about the game.
He was part of the Nomads Cricket Club executive for many years and served the club in various capacities until the end. He was instrumental in providing direction to the club ensuring it reaches the heights of success while ensuring that cricket is always played in the right spirit.
He had an amazing grasp of the game and his humor on the player performances (or non-performances) was exemplary. Cricket was his family and he championed for spread of the game in Switzerland.
The Club has a lost a legend and a leading light who has helped the clubs during its darkest times and was instrumental in ensuring that the club is in a healthy state.
May his soul rest in peace.
