Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Ricky Skerritt yesterday revealed that the entire selection panel, including its Chairman Courtney Browne, have been sacked.
The disclosure was made during a press conference by CWI at its headquarters in Antigua, where West Indies A team coach Floyd Reifer and Jamaica head coach Robert Haynes, were announced as interim head coach and chairman of selectors respectively.
“In order to achieve a renewed sense of purpose and excellence, difficult choices and challenging decisions have to be made and, in this case, some have been made…The changes that we have triggered this week are, therefore, more than a simple change in personnel or a shake-up among the ranks. This is a calculated, strategic move designed to reignite the passion for our culture – a West Indies cricket culture that is being put back where it belongs at the very centre,” Skerritt said.
