Ricky Skerritt, who led Cricket West Indies (CWI) for the previous four years, has chosen not to pursue employment with another team, so CWI now has a new president. Azim Bassarath of Trinidad and Tobago has taken over as the new vice-president, replacing Dr. Kishore Shallow, who served as Skerritt’s vice-president. Both have been chosen for two-year terms.
“I left. I did not seek re-election. I always said that four years would be enough for me,” Skerritt, a former manager of the West Indies team, told Cricbuzz on Sunday night. The change of dispensation was confirmed at the CWI Annual General Meeting (AGM), held in Antigua, on Saturday (March 25).
“On behalf of Cricket West Indies, I sincerely thank the outgoing President Ricky Skerritt for his latest contribution to our beloved cricket. He has served with distinction and pride in one of the most challenging periods in our lifetime, the COVID-19 pandemic. His tenure has certainly moved us in the right direction,” Dr Shallow said.
