A cricket fan in St Lucia died after he was electrocuted during a Twenty20 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) match between St Lucia Zouks and Antigua Hawksbills at the Beausejour Ground on Tuesday.

Julian Agard was electrocuted in the vicinity of the Laborie/Soufriere stands at about 10.30 p.m. local time while the game, a CPL preliminary round fixture, was in full swing, CMC reports.
