Cricket West Indies has established a new Technical Committee that will advise its selection panel which players are eligible for selection to the senior squad.

The committee will also determine which players will be granted no-objection certificate.

The NOC grants players permission to participate in the T/20 leagues across the world and this newly established committee will also be reviewing the system used to determine the Windies men’s contract grades as well as establishing a grading system for the award of retainer contracts for the Windies women players.

Cricket West Indies vice-president Emmanuel Nathan will chair the six-member committee that will also be comprised of the chairman of the cricket committee, Julian Charles; Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams; the Chairman of selectors, Courtney Browne; ‘Windies men head coach Stuart Law, ‘Windies women head coach Henderson Springer, and a nominee of the west indies players’ Association (WIPA) which most likely will be its president and CEO Wavell hinds.

At the last Cricket West Indies Board meeting two Saturdays ago in Barbados, CWI’s board of directors approved a new policy that any player withdrawing from selected squads on two consecutive occasions will now have to write to the chairman of selectors to confirm that they wish to be considered for future selection.
