Cozier, who was the voice of West Indies cricket for more than 50 years, appeared on TV and radio around the world in addition to writing in several international newspapers and magazines and was regarded as one the most respected figures in the game.
He began his career on Australia's 1965 tour of the Caribbean and was awarded life membership of the MCC for services to the sport in 2011.
Cozier died at his home in Barbados having been admitted to hospital earlier this month for tests related to infections in his neck and legs.
