West Indies selector Carew steps down
Thursday, July 13, 2006
ST JOHN'S, Antigua (AFP): West Indies' Convenor of Selectors Joey Carew revealed on Wednesday he will not stand for re-election for the forthcoming two-year term.
Carew had been nominated by the Trinidad et Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB) but has sent a letter to TTCB president Deryck Murray asking not to be considered when the selectors for the next period are chosen at a special meeting in Barbados on Thursday.
A series of recent disagreements with West Indies captain Brian Lara may have played a part in his decision.
Lara had repeatedly asked for different bowlers to be added to his squad for the recent Test series defeat at home to India, but was not granted his wish.
Carew has been involved with cricket in the Caribbean for the past 25 years, having previously represented the West Indies as a player and served as a selector for Trinidad et Tobago and the West Indies.
He played 19 Test matches and was vice captain of the West Indies team in 1971-72.
Former West Indies fast bowler Andy Roberts may return to the selection panel.
Current selectors Gordon Greenidge and Clyde Butts are likely to stand again, while Derrick Parry of Nevis and Dominican Sebastien Lockhart are new candidates
