Malawian cricket is in mourning after the death of top official Arjun Menon on Saturday night.<\/b><\/p>\n
A statement from the Malawi National Council of Sports (MNCS) said that the 48-year-old had been “brutally murdered” at his residence in Blantyre.<\/p>\n
Local police in the Southern African nation are yet to issue a statement following Menon’s death.<\/p>\n
Menon, a wicketkeeper who represented Singapore five times at senior level, was the operations manager of Cricket Malawi.<\/p>\n
MNCS chief executive Dr Henry Kamata said Menon’s contributions to the sport were “immense and far-reaching” and that he had played a “pivotal role” in the growth and success of the national side.<\/p>\n
“We strongly condemn this heartless act of violence and urge law enforcement authorities to pursue all leads to ensure that those responsible are swiftly brought to justice,” Dr Kamata added in a statement posted on social media.<\/p>\n
“We extend our heartfelt condolences to Arjun’s family, friends, the cricket community, and all those affected by this tragic loss.”<\/p>\n
Menon had previously coached Singapore and also had stints in Chile, Botswana and Indonesia.<\/p>\n
“Arjun was more than a coach; he was a mentor, leader, and an embodiment of Singaporean values of excellence, humility, and service,” a statement from the Singapore Cricket Association said.<\/p>\n
“His legacy lives on in the players he shaped and the communities he uplifted across continents.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
