Article by April 13, 2021
ST JOHN’S, Antigua – As expected, Ricky Skerritt was on Sunday returned as president of Cricket West Indies unopposed along with vice-president Dr Kishore Shallow, the pair now set to serve a second successive term at the helm of the regional governing body.
The move was always on the cards once their challengers, Anand Sanasie of Guyana and Barbados Cricket Association vicepresident, Calvin Hope, dropped out of the race last week.
Both the Guyana Cricket Board and the BCA, which had snubbed the March 28 Annual General Meeting thus forcing a postponement due to the lack of a quorum, were present at Sunday’s meeting, ruling out any chance of the fireworks of two weeks ago.

Ricky Skerritt was returned unopposed as president of Cricket West Indies (CWI) along with vice-president Dr Kishore Shallow at the regional governing body s annual general meeting (AGM), held virtually, on Sunday. They will serve a second two-year term, which will last until March 2023.
Both Skerritt and Dr Shallow were both officially elected after their respective rivals Anand Sanasie, Honorary Secretary of the Guyana Cricket Board, and his running mate Barbadian CWI director Calvin Hope, announced on April 1 that they were withdrawing from the contest.
The AGM was first scheduled for May 28, but the representatives from the Guyana Cricket Board and the Barbados Cricket Association did not turn up for the virtual meeting, leaving the meeting short of the required quorum of nine. All of the territorial board member associations were fully represented.
