In 2015 Pairaudeau and a friend drove from Hamilton to Napier to watch the touring West Indies squad train. He told Hawke's Bay Today that he last visited his country of birth in 1998, when he attended a reunion of former team-mates in Jamaica.
โI thought I'd come meet a few of the boys and see if they knew a few of my old mates who are still alive in the Caribbean,โ Pairaudeau, then 83, said.
He was also spotted discussing batting techniques with Chris Gayle,
and marvelled at the weight of the modern-day cricket bat.
