Cricket West Indies recently confirmed the departure of Commercial, Marketing and Communications Director, Dominic Warne, who joined the regional governing body six years ago. He will be joined by Media and Public Relations manager, Philip Spooner, who leaves the organization after 16 years.
Chief Executive Officer, Johnny Grave, said their contracts had “reached their natural conclusion” as part of a “thorough appraisal process.”
“As an organization, we are dedicated to nurturing a culture of continuous evolution and improvement,” Grave said.
“We are steadfast in our pursuit to maximize our human capital, engage the best talent, and foster an environment where excellence thrives throughout the entire system.”
He continued, “As part of this process, while some contracts have reached a natural conclusion, including those of Dominic Warne, Commercial, Marketing and Communications director, and Philip Spooner, Media and Public Relations manager, both individuals will continue supporting us in the extremely important year ahead, in new roles working directly on the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in June.
“We appreciate their contributions and dedication to our organization and remain committed to their involvement in this significant period.”
Selectors Roland Butcher, Travis Dowlin and Robert Haynes will also depart their roles after CWI did not renew their contracts, which ended on Dec. 31, while Coach Development Manager, Chris Brabazon, has also returned to Australia after four years.
CWI said the selection changes were part of an ongoing assessment of the selection system, which formed part of the new four-year strategic plan, beginning this year.
“We are dedicated to refining our selection processes to better serve the needs of West Indies cricket. The ongoing evaluation and restructuring efforts are integral steps toward achieving this goal,” said Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe.
CWI expressed its gratitude for a “tremendous contribution” by those whose tenures ended. CWI said the process to replace Warne and Brabazon would begin “imminently.”
