A FORMER director of sports is seeking to make the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) his new sporting kingdom.

Erskine King, who served as head of the National Sports Council (NSC) for 18 years, from 1998 to 2015, yesterday confirmed he will be contesting the post of president at the BCA elections in July.

“I have been asked by several [BCA] members and, after consideration, I’ve decided that I would offer myself for the presidency,” King told SUNSPORT yesterday.

The 68-year-old King, who made his first-class debut for Barbados as a 16-year-old Foundation schoolboy in the late 1960s under the captaincy of Sir Everton Weekes, is no stranger to leadership. (EZS)
