ST JOHN’S, An­tigua – Dr Kishore Shal­low and Az­im Bas­sarath have been elect­ed to the posts of Pres­i­dent and Vice Pres­i­dent re­spec­tive­ly, of Crick­et West In­dies (CWI). They will serve two-year terms.

The elec­tion process was con­duct­ed as one of the key items on the agen­da of the 24th An­nu­al Gen­er­al Meet­ing of CWI, which was held on Sat­ur­day 25, March 2023 at the Coolidge Crick­et Ground in An­tigua.

Dr Shal­low said: “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.”

He added: “The re­sound­ing vote of con­fi­dence demon­strat­ed by the share­hold­ers is heart­en­ing. My pro­found grat­i­tude to them and all the stake­hold­ers for sup­port­ing me through­out the elec­toral process. As I em­bark on this new role with Vice Pres­i­dent Bas­sarath, there is no delu­sion about the con­sid­er­able work­load. My phi­los­o­phy re­mains one of uni­ty and in­clu­siv­i­ty. For it is on­ly if we pool our re­sources and ef­forts to­geth­er will West In­dies crick­et make any mean­ing­ful ad­vance­ment as a crick­et na­tion."

Bas­sarath said: “It is in­deed an ho­n­our to be elect­ed to serve as the Vice Pres­i­dent of Crick­et West In­dies and I look for­ward to work­ing along­side Dr Shal­low and the oth­er mem­bers of the Board of Di­rec­tors as we con­tin­ue the good work done by Mr Sker­ritt for the ben­e­fit of every­one in­volved in West In­dies Crick­et.”
