Azim Bassarath has been officially re-elected as Cricket West Indies Vice President.

A Special Meeting of Members was convened today for the sole purpose of electing a new Vice President.

Mr Bassarath was the sole candidate at the close of nominations previously, having been nominated by the Jamaica Cricket Association and Leeward Islands Cricket Board.

CWI says all Territorial Boards were in attendance at the Special Meeting except the Guyana Cricket Board.

It adds that at the close of the meeting, CWI President Dr. Kishore Shallow thanked members for their participation and reiterated calls for unity amongst West Indies Cricket stakeholders.

Mr Bassarath recently vacated the post of CWI Vice President after Guyana’s High Court ruled in favour of a matter brought by the Guyana Cricket Board challenging his election.

Regarding his re-election Mr Bassarath said, “I’m excited to return to my duties for the good of West Indies cricket, working alongside my dedicated colleagues at Cricket West Indies. Since March of 2023 when myself and Dr Shallow took over, we made great strides in the most popular format of the game – T20 and we are determined to continue making these strides in the other two international formats. I have committed and remain committed to serving with integrity and respect for the process, while upholding the best governance practices. This vote of confidence signals that we can move forward with the business of cricket and deliver the results shareholders and fans across the region and around the world are eager to see, under the leadership of Dr. Kishore Shallow.”
