Courtney Browne has been included in the West Indies selection panel after the West Indies Cricket Board accepted the review committee’s recommendation.

The board of directors took the decision in their last meeting at St Lucia. Browne replaced former West Indian spinner Raphick Jumadeen while chairman Clyde Butts and Robert Haynes continue for the next two-year term.

Browne, in his ten-year long career, was one of the prime wicketkeepers for West Indies. Of the appointment, he claimed: “It is a privilege to be afforded the opportunity to serve West Indies cricket again. I feel honoured and I will put my best foot forward”

As thanks to the WICB, Butts said: “I'm pleased to be reappointed chairman of the selection panel and I am confident that we will work closely as a group as we continue on a restructuring pathway.

"I welcome Courtney to the panel and look forward to working with him and Robert, along with head coach Ottis Gibson as we put our best efforts together to move West Indies cricket forward,” he added.
