ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) – The President of the Leeward Islands Cricket Association (LICA), Gregory Shillingford, says he will not be seeking re-election when the organisation holds its Annual General Meeting (AGM) in December.

His announcement comes days after the postponement of the LICA Three-Day Cricket Competition due to financial woes within the individual territories.
“I think I have served long enough. I don’t think I will be challenging for the presidency again,” said Shillingford.
“I have served long enough so I will not be contesting the elections”.
The administrator, who has served as head of LICA for seven years, gave no specific reasons for the decision but said he is satisfied with his tenure and simply just wants to “move on”.
Shillingford said his main thrust now is to complete projects already started.
“At this time I am not looking back, I am looking forward,” said Shillingford, in an interview with the Antigua Observer.
“There are still a few months to go and complete a number of things that need to be put in place, priority of which is to concretise that commitment of the government.”
Last week, LICA postponed its three-day tournament after some countries reportedly experienced financial difficulties, specifically travelling and accommodations costs.
Reports are that Anguilla and Nevis had both reported they were unable to finance trips to Montserrat.
“I have to go and meet the Minister of Sports (Winston Williams) to review where we are especially that it has been in the public domain about the postponement of our tournament,” said Shillingford.
“So the minister wants to understand and determine how his government could have assisted, how the other governments could have assisted, so I am looking forward, not looking back”.
LICA has not said when the three-dayer will resume, but Gregory has given the assurance that the competition would be completed later this year.
