Former wicketkeeper-batsman Courtney Browne has replaced Clive Lloyd as West Indies' chairman of selectors with immediate effect.
Browne, who played 20 Tests and 46 one-dayers for the Windies, had been a member of the senior selection panel.
He has been given a two-year term as chairman.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said Lloyd, who led West Indies to two World Cup triumphs, would be appointed as a special ambassador effective from October 1.
"The time as chairman was quite rewarding and I am hoping my contribution would have added value to the current system," Lloyd said in a WICB statement.
