ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Predictably, West Indies Cricket Board president Julian Hunte was returned unopposed yesterday to serve another two-year term as head of regional cricket.
It had been previously indicated that no other name had been put forward to contest the top post in Windies cricket.
Incumbent WICB vice-president Dave Cameron was also returned unopposed to the position.
It will be the second term for both Hunte and Cameron who were returned to their respective posts on the second day of the Annual General Meeting here yesterday.
The St Lucian Hunte, who took over the presidency from Trinidadian Ken Gordon after the 2007 Cricket World Cup in the Caribbean, has presided over a turbulent period in West Indies cricket.
This year alone he was forced to oversee an abandoned Antigua Test, the Allen Stanford affair and the recent contracts impasse with the West Indies Players Association.
The Board also deferred the appointment of members to various WICB committees until a later date.
