With the employment contracts of current West Indies team manager Ricky Skerritt and team coach Roger Harper expiring in March next year, the West Indies Cricket Board has started to advertise these posts both regionally and internationally.

The advertising campaign started on Tuesday with a placement of the recruitment notice on the WICB's website, www.windiescricket.com.

"For the next week or so, the recruitment notice will also appear in newspapers throughout the Caribbean and so we are looking forward to a huge response," remarked Roger Brathwaite, acting chief executive officer of the WICB.

The closing date for applications for the two posts is Wednesday, January 15.

Skerritt and Harper were appointed to their posts just prior to the Cable & Wireless 2000 home series against Zimbabwe and Pakistan.

They have been advised that the WICB are advertising the posts and are willing to receive applications for the re-engagement of their services.
