Browne for Lloyd as Windies' top selector

The West Indies Cricket Board has appointed former wicketkeeper-batsman Courtney Browne to replace Clive Lloyd as chairman of selectors.

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.

"I made every attempt to serve with distinction and I was pleased to contribute to the game again."

The West Indies will face South Africa on Friday (local time) in Bridgetown in the triangular series for a place in Sunday's final against Australia.
