St John’s, ANTIGUA – Former wicketkeeper, coach, and talent manager, Courtney Browne will be the new Chairman of Selectors for the West Indies Cricket Board. Browne has been on the senior men’s selection panel for almost six years and he has had oversight for selection for the women’s and under 19 programmes for the last two years while being regional talent manager for the same period.
Before joining the selection teams, Browne served as Chairman for the senior selection panel in Barbados and also served as an alternate selector for the West Indies senior men’s team. Before becoming a selector, he was the wicket-keeping coach at the High Performance Centre in Barbados.
Browne thinks that with the increased exposure to matches in various formats “players will now have an opportunity to be seen.” The comprehensive technical programmes being offered by the WICB “will give players so much more chances to solidify their skill sets.”
The new appointment will take effect immediately and will run for two years. Browne is awaiting his final results following his recent completion of an MBA in General Management/Business Administration. He also has an Executive Diploma in Project Management.
The England-born Barbadian played 20 Tests and 46 one-day internationals for the West Indies over ten years. He was the wicket-keeper.

CLIVE LLOYD
The WICB, effective October 1, 2016, will appoint the former Chairman of Selectors, Clive Lloyd, as a special Ambassador. While in this role, Lloyd will be responsible for being a spokesperson for the Board at special events in and out of the region.
Lloyd will end his stint in the current role on September 30, 2016. “The time as Chairman was quite rewarding and I am hoping my contribution would have added value to the current system.” For the period up to the end of that contract Lloyd and Browne will ensure there is a smooth transition and hand-over.
About the new role, Lloyd said “I made every attempt to serve with distinction and I was pleased to contribute to the game again. I look forward to the new role. The details of that arrangement will be discussed and will be released shortly.”
It is so shameful to see Big Cat being kicked liked a football all over the place.
Dem give a title...but no job description yet
I guess he needs the money.
Just imagine the current Guyana Government honoured every Tom, Dick and Harrylal for the 50th independence anniversary but refused to honour Big Cat....only because he tried to improve Mudland cricket under the previous government

Lloyd had received one of the highest national honors during his playing days.

Guyanese officials are upset that former West Indies captain Clive Lloyd was not honoured by the government of Guyana at their 50th anniversary Jubilation function held recently in the South American country.
“We had a tremendous celebration here in Guyana and the government went all out to make the occasion memorable for the people of the country. However, it was disturbing that one of the favourite sons of the soil Clive Lloyd was not part of it.” Lloyd made his Test debut in 1966, the year Guyana became an Independent nation, and he is also celebrating 50 years of entering into the Test arena.
“Clive remains the most important figure in the regional game because he transformed West Indies cricket. He remains the most successful West Indies captain and it was Lloyd who made the world stand up and take notice of our cricket. He should have been honoured by the government.”

Are you saying you can only be honoured once in your lifetime?
It was the 50th anniversary of independence.
