Former West Indies chief selector Mike Findlay has been named manager for the upcoming tour to England.

Findlay, a Vincentian who played in 10 Tests for the regional side in the 1970s, will take control of a management team that includes interim head coach David Moore and assistant coach Hendy Springer.

Makes no difference who is manager, the story will have the same ending.

Sarwan is lucky - appointed for only 1 series. That ought to limit his agony and save him from being completely destroyed.

It really does not matter who they chop and change, who have role and who don't have role. The performances and results of the WI cricket team will not change except maybe to get worse.

WI cricket in its current manifestation is obsolete to these times and should cease to exist.

How is a one-tour captaincy with review effectively any different from probation?

So how dem announcing tings and the WIPA issue with the FTP hasnt been settled yet?
I guess they confident.

Anyway, maybe Clive Lloyd is not available.

guess they want to see if the team shows cohesion and also put in the necessary effort. I assume success would be measured in terms of discipline, showing determination and performing credibly.

In reply to CaribbeanCricket.com Sarwan's appointment is only for the tour of England

This is absolute NONSENSE.

West Indies captains HAVE NEVER been appointed for more than 1 tour at a time.They always are evaluated at the end of a tour so this is a non-statement.
I am 100% sure that there is a story here.Who was pushing the probation idea and was there a vote.
Licks fuh KG.
Time he go off into the sunset and leff WI cricket to rise from the ashes.

Another rethread. What happen to the young managers that we have e.g The management teams of under19, 15 etc.
We need new blood .We need new ideas. We need a fresh new perspective.
Who is going to disicipline any senior player on tour?
What happens if a player or players say it is too cold to go out and train? What is the penalty for insubordination?
It is stuff like this we want to hear.
For crying out loud the WICB Website still has Australia won the cup and NOTHING about a new captain.
That is what we have at the top. INCOMPETENCE.
We need someone to TAKE CHARGE of the players and someone to take charge of the Admin. Lay the law down from captain to cook NO BS. Screw up and you sitting DOWN or going home. CHOOSE.
