Marshall, 41, died in his native Barbados last Thursday from colon cancer, news that came as a shock to the cricket world and fans who ranged from heads of state to labourers.

Clive Lloyd and Sir Viv Richards, the two captains under whom Marshall played most of his 81 Tests between 1978 and 1991, will attend, local spokesmen said. Lloyd resides in England. Richards is in Mumbai, India.

Andy Roberts, Michael Holding, Joel Garner and Colin Croft, who formed the feared West Indies' pace attack along with Marshall in the 1980s, will also attend, spokesmen said.

Former England batsman Robin Smith and Mark Nicholas, teammates with Marshall during his 14 seasons with the English county Hampshire have both said they will fly from London for the occasion. Nicholas, now a television commentator, was Hampshire captain for most of Marshall's time there.

The funeral service will take place in Bridgetown at the 4,000-seat Sir Garfield Sobers gymnasium, Barbadian deputy Prime Minister David Simmons announced yesterday. The service will be conducted by another legendary paceman, Rev Wes Hall, Simmons said.

Tributes continue to pour in daily for Marshall. Both of Barbados' daily newspapers announced they will publish special editions tomorrow commemorating Marshall's career. Prime Minister Owen Arthur last week said Marshall's death was the ``most tragic moment in the life of West Indies cricket.''

SOUTH AFRICAN TRIBUTE: The South African cricket team will also pay tribute to West Indies' second highest wicket-taker during the second Test against Zimbabwe beginning tomorrow. ``We'll probably try and get some armbands on, although the team has yet to decide on it,'' all-rounder Lance Klusener said. ``But definitely we'll do something for Malcolm.''

Natal's Klusener, Shaun Pollock, Jonty Rhodes and coach Graham Ford benefitted from Marshall's experience when the West Indian spent four seasons playing and coaching in the Province.

``He played an enormous role with me and Shaun, as well as with Graham,'' Klusener said. ``He was a godsend from our point of view. To have a legend like that to be able to lean on and bounce ideas off was awesome.''
