Grave: Contract extensions for selectors short-term
Cricket West Indies chief executive, Johnny Grave, has confirmed short-term contract extensions for under-fire chief selector Roger Harper and his panel, but said the move was simply to minimise disruption amid a heavy volume of international commitments and the ongoing review of the selection process.
Speaking in the wake of West Indies’ T20 World Cup travesty, Grave said the two-year contracts of selectors, along with those of team management, had been extended only until year-end, and that an announcement on any new appointments or renewals would be made by CWI following that period.
“There has not been an extension [long term]. The team management as well as selectors were coming up to the end of contracts signed two years ago, and we’ve extended most of them just until the end of the year. They’re going through a review period at the moment,” Grave told Starcom Radio’s Mason and Guest cricket show.
“We didn’t really want to be reviewing performances and extending or not extending contracts during a World Cup. With the amount of cricket we’ve got going on at the moment, we’ve just extended everyone until the end of the year.”
