The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) confirmed Ernest Hilaire of St Lucia as its new chief executive officer yesterday.
The WICB said in a press release that Hilaire’s appointment becomes effective October 1.
Hilaire replaces Donald Peters, who departed the post in July, and he will immediately confront the contractual crisis between the WICB and the players’ union that has crippled West Indies cricket.
Hilaire becomes the fifth CEO of the regional cricket board in the last nine years, after Gregory Shillingford, Roger Brathwaite, Bruce Aanensen and Peters.
