03-Oct-2001Jeff Broomes was replaced as manager of the West Indies team to nextJanuary’s Youth World Cup in New Zealand by "a simple, democraticvote", West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Reverend Wes Hallsaid yesterday."Every single position in West Indies cricket, from board president,to captain, to coach, to manager, is decided by the democratic processwith representatives of the six member territories, who themselveswere democratically elected, casting their vote," Hall explained.The WICB directors elected Jamaican Courtney Daley over BarbadianBroomes at their meeting in Antigua last weekend. Hall said that allthe positions filled at the meeting – the retention of Carl Hooper onthe selectors’ recommendation for the tours of Sri Lanka and Pakistanand Daley, coach Gus Logie and physiotherapist Dave Cumberbatch forthe Youth World Cup – were "by the democratic process".Broomes, deputy principal at The St Michael School, managed thesuccessful West Indies Under-19 team on its tour of England in Julyand August. He had replaced Vincentian Alfred Bynoe who was in chargeof the team to the previous Youth World Cup in Sri Lanka in January,1999.Daley, 51, who played for Jamaica as a left-arm spinner in the 1970s,was manager of the Jamaica team to the recent West Indies Under-19tournament in Guyana.Hall noted that the dismissal of senior West Indies team manager RickySkerritt last May was overturned by the board because it was not doneby the approved, democratic process. It led to the resignation ofHall,s predecessor, Pat Rousseau, and his vice-president ClarvisJoseph."My aim is to establish a cadre of suitably qualified personnel fromwhom the board can choose its various managers and other teamofficials," Hall said. "But, in the final analysis, the board stillhas to vote for some one."
