ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Friday, announced the appointment of Roland Butcher, as a selector to the West Indies Men’s Senior & Youth Panels.

Butcher was delighted to accept the appointment, said:

“It is a great honour and a privilege, to be given the opportunity to serve West Indies Cricket. I’m eager to get started to work alongside the other members of the selection panels as we look to ensure the growth and improvement in West Indies cricket at all levels.”

The West Indies Men’s Senior Panel is led by Dr Desmond Haynes and the Men’s Youth Panel is led by Robert Haynes. The third member of both panels is the respective head coach.
