If a genie had to grant me three wishes in relation of fixing West Indies Cricket, my first wish would be getting rid of Dave Cameron as president of Cricket West Indies. Maybe genies do exist because that wish was granted, as Ricky Skerritt gathered the votes required to unseat Dave Cameron. In fact both Cameron and Skerritt to this day are still surprised by the margin of victory. Cameron had so much bad blood with current and past players that he needed to go. West Indies Cricket needs a fresh face and a fresh approach in order to compete with the rest of the cricketing world. What Skerritt needs to put as priority is to foster a better working relationship with W.I.P.A. and by extension the players. He has already lifted the selection criteria, where a player has to exclusively play in regional competition to get selected. That is an archaic system, where you exclude players who participate in leagues all round the world. I wish Mr. Skerritt all the best in developing and improving West Indies Cricket in the years to come.
