KINGSTON, Jamaica (CMC) – Former West Indies cricketers Wavell Hinds and Courtney Walsh have been appointed on a new-look national senior selection panel for cricket in Jamaica.
Hinds, a former batsman for the regional side has been appointed chairman making the move up from the Under-19 selection panel, with the rest of the panel including Walsh, the fast-bowling great, Delroy Morgan, Wayne Lewis and Cleveland Davidson.
“The new board in selecting the panel deliberated carefully and in the end we believe what we came up with a good mix,” said Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) president Wilford Heaven.
“We have Morgan coming back to lend his experience, Hinds and Davidson stepping up from their successful stint with the Under-19s, Lewis, who is new, plus Walsh.”
Both Walsh, the recently elected JCA second vice-president, and Lewis are serving as national selectors for the first time.
