Lewis: Pybus appointment could impact CWI finances
ST JOHNS, Antigua There is a major concern that significant high cost could result from the appointment of Englishman Richard Pybus as interim head coach of the West Indies mens team.
In arguing his case against the appointment, Leeward Islands Cricket Board president, Enoch Lewis, said the associated costs were unplanned and unbudgeted, and were unlikely to impact adversely on the already frail Cricket West Indies finances.
a significantly high cost to CWI is likely to arise out of the decision to hand-pick and appoint Mr Pybus as interim Head Coach given the likely hiring of new coaches and conversely the termination of the existing coaching staff, Lewis wrote in a letter to CWI, a copy of which was obtained by CMC Sports.
Most of whom are under contract until September 2019, and because this cost is unplanned and unbudgeted and happening at a time when CWI is experiencing serious cash flow challenges as reflected by the existing significant cash deficit, which has negatively impacted the company capacity to meet normal day-to-day expenses.
According to the candid letter last month, Lewis revealed that CWI president had hand-picked Pybus for the top coaching role after making an independent determination that negotiations with the previously board-approved choice of South African Nic Pothas, had broken down.
