Biography
Berkeley Bertram McGarrell Gaskin (21 March 1908 - 2 May 1979) was a West Indian cricketer and administrator who played in two Tests in 1947-48.
Gaskin played first-class cricket as a medium-pace bowler and lower-order batsman for British Guiana from 1929 to 1953, captaining the side from 1950-51 to 1952-53. His best bowling figures were 7 for 58 against Jamaica in 1950-51.
He managed the West Indies side on three overseas tours: to India and Pakistan in 1958-59, to England in 1963, and to Australia and New Zealand in 1968-69. He was President of the Guyana Cricket Association at the time of his death, and had also served as a West Indies selector.
He worked as a senior official in the Guyanese civil service.
