PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC – Former West Indies batsman Gus Logie said he was thrilled to be involved with the game in Trinidad & Tobago again.
The T&T Cricket Board have confirmed that the 53-year-old Logie has been appointed the new coach of the national team.
“Like everything else, I’m pleased with the opportunity to be involved in T&T cricket, and the opportunity to work with so many talented young players, and to hopefully see their progress to the West Indies team,” Logie told the T&T Newsday newspaper.
“It feels good, on home soil, it’s where I started I must admit. I was involved at the youth level, with the first Academy intake. It’s like I’ve come full circle.”
Logie has been in the post for the last month and has been working with T&T players not involved with the Caribbean Premier League.
“Having seen guys graduate and play for the national and West Indies teams, makes you feel good,” said Logie. “It’s an opportunity again being afforded to me and I’m certainly going to grab it with both hands.
