The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) outlined plans to professionalise umpiring in the region at a meeting in Barbados on Wednesday with West Indies Cricket Umpires Association (WICUA) president Hartley Reid.
WICB corporate secretary, Tony Deyal, said yesterday that chief executive Donald Peters had “discussed the possible establishment of a task force to advise on setting up a system, based on the ICC model (i.e. different panels) to professionalise umpiring in the region.”
It was, he added, part of the WICB’s strategic plan “which will be widely disseminated for public response in the next few days.”
