With Stanford Howard:
President of the Leeward Islands Cricket Board, Enoch Lewis, is questioning the legitimacy of the appointment by the President of Cricket West Indies, Dave Cameron., who chose Richard Pybus as interim West Indies men’s coach.
In a lette, published by CMC, Enoch Lewis, complained to Jimmy Adams who is the director of cricket. He stated that advice was given by the Director of Cricket, to use men from the existing coaching staff and a list of 11 names were submitted of which, Esaun Crandon, Stuart Williams, Rayon Griffith, Robert Samuels and Nic Pothas were included.
Nic Pothas was recommended by Adams, favored by Stuart Law and loved by players, but refused to sign a remuneration package given to him, the package was approximately half of what the former coach Stuart Law had been paid. Nic Pothas made a request for payment closer to Law’s package, while still assuming the position for the Bangladesh tour last December.
President Cameron, then made a deal with Pybus for more than what Pothas had been offered.
This was at the heart of Enoch Lewis’s complaints, he contended that “None of the DOC (Director of Cricket), the Cricket Committee or the Technical Cricket Committee was consulted on the initiative to engage or negotiate with Mr. Pybus”
The letter contends that it is, “unacceptable and unethical for the CWI President to single-handedly recruit a person of his choosing, and to proceed with salary negotiations without the prior knowledge of the Board.”
