Cricket West Indies on Monday confirmed that it has “resolved legal matters” with former West Indies wicketkeeper-batsman Shane Dowrich. Dowrich filed a loss-of-earnings lawsuit in the High Court of Barbados in January 2024, seeking close to US$172,000 in damages. The terms of the settlement agreement will remain confidential.

The suit stemmed “from Dowrich’s early return from the New Zealand tour of 2020,” his then ineligibility for selection, and the subsequent non-renewal of his central playing contract.

Chief Executive Officer Chris Dehring confirms that the 34-year-old was recently added to West Indies’ wicket-keeping coaching staff.

"CWI is pleased that an agreement has been reached and welcomes Shane to be part of its coaching structure as he moves into further professional development," Dehring said.

Whats strange is that while this was going on and Dowrich was a member of the coaching staff of the U19. So good to see it was amicable cuase he can still give back to the youths. And now will get compensated for his loss of earnings.

@natty_forever

Seems so. Which makes sense ao of they dont have to pay out 172 Grand and maybe pay out 50 Grand directly and the balance over time via salary payment.

Vasbert drakez,desmond haynes, ottis gibson ,long list of players to sue the board and end up working for it.

CWI knows how to waste money and more than one way too. A man who has no keeping technique coaching youngsters. Duj couldn't help him but he's gonna help youngsters... Men gonna remind he once held a record, talk about how many dollies he flubbed

@imusic
