CWI VP Shallow takes over Windward Islands top spot
ST JOHN’S, Antigua, CMC – Dr Kishore Shallow has been elected president of the Windward Islands Cricket Board of Control, furthe
CWI vice-president Dr Kishore Shallow.
r consolidating his standing in the Caribbean cricket fraternity two months after assuming the reins as Cricket West Indies vice-president.
The 35-year-old was elected unopposed after Dominican Emmanuel Nanthan, the former CWI vice-president, chose not to seek re-election.
Nanthan, along with former CWI president Dave Cameron, were defeated by Shallow and Ricky Skerritt at CWI elections last March.
Shallow, a director of WICBC for five years and a CWI director for two years, said he was looking forward to serving in his wider role.
“My love for this game is immeasurable, and I am tremendously honored to be given the opportunity to serve cricket across the region and to be in a leadership role to advance Caribbean cricket,” said Shallow, also president of the St Vincent and the Grenadines Cricket Association.
An information technology and business consultant, Shallow said the sub-region was rich in potential and he hoped to maximise this with the resources available.
“There is a lot of potential. We just need to harmonize our resources a little better and obviously this is a challenge,” Shallow said in a media interview with the Searchlight newspaper.
“I am really a strong advocate of regional integration and that is how I am going to be approaching this position; very similar to Cricket West Indies where we don’t represent an island but a region.”
St Lucian Julian Charles will continue as vice- president of the WICBC and will be joined by Grenadian Dwain Gill as the Windward Islands directors on the CWI board.
Gill, the president of the Grenada Cricket Association who has served as West Indies A team manager and Windies Under-19 manager, said his latest appointment was another chance to make an impact in Caribbean cricket.
“The appointment is another opportunity to make a meaningful contribution to the overall development of West Indies cricket,” said Gill.
“I am humbled and honoured and will continue to devote time and attention to West Indies cricket as I’ve done all my life.”
Vincentian Kezron Walters was also elected as the new WICBC secretary under the constitutional requirement that the president and secretary come from the same island.
Summary of Results:
President – Dr. Kishore Shallow
Vice President – Julian Charles
Directors to CWI – Julian Charles and Dwain Gill
Alternates – Patrick Felix and Miles Bascombe
Selectors – Steve Mohorn (chairman), Roland Wilkinson, Greg Wilson, and Trevor Shillingford
Treasurer – Dougal James
