Head coach of the Leeward Islands Hurricanes, Winston Benjamin will be offered a contract extension when his current one-year deal expires in august of this year.

This was confirmed by newly re-elected president of the Leeward Islands Cricket Board (LICB), Enoch Lewis, who said that thus far, there are no reasons to remove the Antiguan from the role.

The Hurricanes finished at the bottom of the standings in the 2016/17 installment of the regional 4 day competition while finishing third this year.

Meanwhile, the team had a dismal run in the Super50 this year, failing to qualify for the quarterfinals after having made it to the semis last year.

Lewis said the board is pleased despite the draw- backs.

The finals of the regional Super50 is slated for Saturday night at the Coolidge Cricket Ground.
