Joel Garner has always been big.
Big on the field of play, big in the boardroom, and big on taking chances to improve the sport of cricket as well.
And he feels he’s got it right again.
The president of the Barbados Cricket Association yesterday lauded the association’s new promotion-demotion system, which has come in for some flack in the cricketing fraternity.
According to Garner, the system has worked in the rekindling of Division 1 cricket’s fan base, with popular grounds again attracting Barbadians every Saturday during the season.
The president made the comments during the BCA’s annual luncheon at the Accra Beach Hotel yesterday.
