Adams, who represented West Indies as player and captain during his career, replaces Englishman Richard Pybus who did not seek to renew his contract, the Trinidad Guardian reported.
There are also reports that a new head coach, Australian Stuart Law, has been appointed to fill the position left vacant by Phil Simmons who was fired in September.
The decision to fill the two positions were reportedly taken at the weekend at the WICBs final quarterly meeting which took place in St Maarten.
Jamaican Adams resigned as head coach of English county side Kent earlier this year after serving five seasons between 2012 and October 2016.
Pybus is expected to remain for a while to ease Adams into the position.
Law,48, is the former coach of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh who played one Test and 54 one day internationals for Australia.
Jimmy Adams
His first assignment will be to lead the regional team in February when England visits the Caribbean for a series of three one day internationals.
PLEASE ALLOW JIMMY TO DO HIS JOB....AH BEG YUH LOT! PLEASE!
I hope that we can have at least five years of stability for the Cricket director and coaches. Actually we probably need more like 10 years, to get us back on the right track. Law if true, will need time to acclimatize, adjust, and get buy in from the players. It might take him all of 3 years just to get settled.

I was unaware that WICB execs can be hired and fired by MB characters ?

As night follows day..Jimmy will be cussed too
NOBODY is immune where WI cricket is concerned
Good luck to them.
In reply to Raggs... remember is the coach them usually have a problem with and it usually starts with the Director of Cricket.
In reply to Narper... a think Raggs talking about the WICB in this instance.
DC, Jimmy and Wavell are the new PD's of WI cricket!
I had totally lost interest in WI cricket Jimmy's involvement in a meaningful way could go a long way to re-kindle interest and improve the cricket ----he could be the ultimate nexus between craft and purpose, if at all possible ------
But there is no official release. Trinidad Guardian always have suss.

Apology in order for the Guardian?
If for decades the WICBC has refused to change its Modus Operandi , Why does Jimmy Adams believe that he can thrive working for the Big Idiots .
I am reminded of the adage :
" FOOLS RUSH IN WHERE
ANGELS FEAR TO TREAD ".
If Jimmy Adams thinks that he can , all I can do is to wish him Luck ;
because I am highly skeptical that He
can change the mindset of the People
in the WICBC .
I am also reminded of the adage :
" YOU CANNOT TEACH OLD
DOGS NEW TRICKS " .
As I have stated elsewhere in this Forum :
FOR 87 YEARS THE PEOPLE IN THE WICBC
HAVE BLUNTLY REFUSED TO CHANGE ITS
STRUCTURE . PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS IS
AFTER COMMISSIONING AND REJECTING
SEVERAL REPORTS .
