Jimmy Adams Appointed As New Director of Cricket of West Indies Cricket Board

Former West Indian all-rounder Jimmy Adams has been appointed as the new director of cricket of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB); announced by the board’s official twitter handle on Tuesday.

Richard Pybus, who was earlier chairing the board from past three years, did not renew his contract, resulting in Adams taking over the charge. The left-handed batsman, however, signed the deal a week back but confirmation came after the negotiating were done between both parties.

Last October, when WICB sacked team head coach Phil Simmons, Adams was asked to apply for the vacant post, but he didn’t and rather was pushed himself to take up the role of director of cricket instead.

“I am very excited to be directly involved in Caribbean cricket once again, and I look forward to working with all those committed to moving the game forward in the West Indies”, said Jimmy Adams.

Pybus, however, was the part of the selection panel that picked Adams in Windies squad in 1992. On his selection, Pybus said Adams is an experienced customer and will bring his knowledge in rebuilding West Indies cricket.

 

“I look forward to Jimmy bringing the breadth of his international experience and knowledge of cricket in the Caribbean to continue the work of rebuilding West Indies Cricket. It is an exciting time for cricket in the region, with the momentum of the [T20] World Cup’s success and the professional cricket structures beginning to produce players capable of competing and excelling at international level.”

Adams, who made his debut in 1992, played 54 Tests and 127 ODI’s for West Indies.
