CONDE Riley will now have a fourth term as President of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) after winning a tight election on Friday.
Riley narrowly edged challenger and vice-president Calvin Hope 75-72 in a tightly contested election.
Gregory Nicholls, the third nominee, received 37 votes.
“I’m happy. I’ve been here for a number of years. This is my fourth term. We have a number of youngsters on scholarships overseas doing A levels, O levels as well as playing cricket so I’m happy,” Riley told SportsMax.tv on Friday last.
Riley’s main plan while serving his fourth term is to bring a world class indoor facility to Barbados.
“The major thing is the indoor facilities which have thought about building since 2005. We need the money. There’s about $20 million owed by Caribbean Governments to the West Indies so, once we get some of that money, that’s the one I want to complete,” Riley said.
“I want to do it so no matter the weather or time of day, clubs and schools can have indoor facilities to train,” Riley added.
Riley says he hopes to complete this venture in the next two years.
“I’ve already sourced the names and cameras and so on, I want to a very modern indoor facility here, hopefully within the next two years,” Riley said.(Sportsmax
