As expected, Philo Wallace has been selected to lead Barbados in next year's Busta Cup regional four-day championship.

Wallace's appointment was confirmed at Tuesday's retreat of the board of management of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) at the University of the West Indies.

Wallace did not lead Barbados in this year's competition, since he was on the West Indies tour to South Africa, but returned to the helm during the Red Stripe Bowl One-Day competition, which ended this month. Tony Howard was retained as manager.

Senior selector Ezra Moseley was selected to be chairman of the Under-19 selection committee. Moseley, a former West Indies fast bowler, continues his association with the youth having been the manager of the national Under-15 team which went to Guyana earlier this year.

The other members are Jeff Broomes, a former Under-19 manager; George Linton and Hendy Springer, two former national slow bowlers, and Richard Straker, the coach who led the Under-19s to the regional four-day championship in August.

The board highlighted a number of areas which are in urgent need of attention:

• Review and implementation where applicable of the's Strategic Business Plans as detailed in the Shorey Report.

• Establishment of a comprehensive structure for youth cricketers between nine and 21.

• Improvement and strengthening of BCA's relationship with the West Indies Cricket Board.

• Improvement and strengthening of BCA's relationship with the Barbados Cricket Umpires Association.

• Provision of indoor facilities at Kensington Oval.

• Introduction of covers for Division 1 cricket.

• Enhancing financial affairs of the BCA.

• Resuscitation of interest in domestic cricket.

• Revision of the rules of the BCA and updating the legal status.

• Review the existing structure of cricket in Barbados, including the Barbados Cricket League.
