Barbados: New Cricket Selection Panel Named

The Barbados Nation

18 September 1998


Jeff Broomes is no longer a Barbados youth team cricket selector.

Having recently lost his first vice-president position on the Barbados Cricket Association's (BCA) Board of Management, Broomes' name was not among six selectors announced, yesterday.

Broomes, a household name with youth cricket in Barbados, served as a selector for more than a decade and managed teams to the Nortel championships from 1986 to 1994.

With Joel Garner now being a West Indies selector, there is a new youth chairman in Calvin Hope.

Hope, who is also the chairman of the BCA's marketing committee, was a former Barbados youth captain.

The other members of the selection panel are 1998 Nortel coach Richard Straker, team manager Darnley Boxill, Desmond Browne, Dennis Osbourne and former Barbados leg-spinner George Linton.

Browne is headteacher at The Lodge School while Osbourne, a former national basketballer, coaches cricket at Foundation School.
