BRIDGETOWN, July 6: Ken Gordon will not be seeking re-election as president of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) at the end of the month. Gordon, who was 77 in February, had offered his resignation to the board at the end of April but was persuaded to change his mind.

But his tenure, which started in August 2005, has been blighted by continuing poor results on the pitch and an alarming decline in relations between the officials and players.

Presently, there is only one candidate for the post – Julian Hunte, the former St Lucia foreign minister.

Val Banks, the current WICB vice-president, is also not seeking re-election and Dave Cameron, a director who currently represents Jamaica on the board, is the only nominee.—Agencies
