Some suggestions for improvement as the article is expanded:

• Appropriate infobox should be added
• Photograph should be added from a source with a free license
• Basic biographical information required, including date and place of birth, positions held with dates etc
• Article needs expanding and should emphasise reasons for notability of subject
• Expanded article should be divided into appropriate subheadings
• Information on research should be expanded and references required
• References should be expanded and preferably converted to inline format
• External links present which could be used to expand article

The date of death was reported on Twitter as having been March 15th. I haven't seen any reliable source which actually give 1 April as being the date of death; that seems to be the date that his death was reported. --David Biddulph (talk) 15:14, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

David Biddulph I've just found [1], which says his "The International Cricket Council confirmed the news on Thursday, the day after Lewis died." i.e. death date is 1 April. Joseph2302 (talk) 19:55, 2 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
