ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Manager of the West Indies Cricket Team, Sir Richie Richardson, said if he is offered the top coaching position, he would accept the job.

The former captain, who debunked reports that he has been acting in the position since the departure of former coach Ottis Gibson, said his manager’s contract ends in 2016, but he is always willing to work in other roles.

“I’ve always said I would never say no when I am asked to do a job for West Indies cricket. I love West Indies cricket that much, so whatever I am asked to do I will say yes. It’s very difficult to say ‘no I am not going to do it’ so if the board approaches me and ask me to coach the team; obviously, I’d seriously think about it …,” he said.
