PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, CMC:
THERE HAVE been calls by several former regional and international cricketers for former West Indies wicketkeeper Deryck Murray to lead West Indies cricket.
Former T&T and West Indies off-spinner and captain, Rangy Nanan said Murray will be an interesting candidate to head the WICB.
"Having played the game at the highest level, served as a diplomat, along with well-known management skills and ability, I think Murray has the necessary experience and qualification for the job," Nanan said.
"I think it will be a good move for him to challenge for the position."
Former T&T and West Indies left-arm spinner Raphick Jumadeen also gave the thumbs up for Murray to challenge for the position.
"Deryck Murray is the right man to run West Indies cricket. Besides having cricketing experience, he is also well qualified," Jumadeen said.
"West Indies cricket needs someone like him to chart our course in an upward direction."
