JOEL GARNER is set to take over as West Indies team manager today amidst questions over whether he should continue as a West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) director and president of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA).
The outstanding former West Indies fast bowler has been appointed on a two-year contract to fill the position that had been vacant since the beginning of the year.
While the appointment has not been officially announced by the WICB, well placed sources revealed that Garner got the nod ahead of two others in a short-list that included a former Trinidad and Tobago manager and a former officer of the Jamaica Defence Force.
His first assignment will be the imminent four-Test home series between West Indies and India that runs from July 21 to August 22. (HG)
