Wilfred Khalil "Sonny" Edun (30 June 1930 – 17 June 1990[1]) was a cricketer from British Guiana who toured New Zealand with the West Indies team in 1955-56, but did not play Test cricket.
A middle and lower-order batsman and opening bowler, Edun made his first-class debut for British Guiana in the 1954–55 season. He made his two highest first-class scores, 36 and 33, in his first game, against Barbados.[2] After three games that season in which he scored 125 runs and took 3 wickets he was selected to tour New Zealand.
He played only two first-class matches in New Zealand, taking 2 for 21 and 3 for 28 in an innings victory over Wellington.[3] He played in most of the minor matches, with moderate success.
After the tour he played one game for British Guiana in 1956-57 and once more in 1959–60, with little success. He became a cricket administrator in Guyana.[4]
