Don’t risk Ricky!

President of Cricket West Indies (CWI) Whycliffe “Dave” Cameron says Ricky Skerritt’s history as West Indies team manager has disqualified him as a candidate to lead the region’s governing body.

Skerritt, 62, recently announced he would be looking to unseat Cameron when the CWI holds elections on March 24 in Jamaica.

However, Cameron, who has been president since 2013, said Skerritt’s past failure as manager of the West Indies team should not be forgotten.

“Ricky has always mentioned how passionate he is about West Indies cricket. What most of us remember Ricky for is that period when he was manager of the team, the turmoil that occurred. I’m hoping that we’ll never get back to those days,” Cameron said during an interview on the Line And Length Network. (CMC)
