Ricky Skerritt will remain as Cricket West Indies president after being re-elected for a second two-year term.

The 64-year-old ran unopposed after rivals Anand Sanasie and Calvin Hope withdrew from the race.

Skerritt was confirmed during a virtual annual general meeting held on Sunday (April 11).

Dr Kishore Shallow will also remain as vice-president, a success he labelled as a "victory for West Indies cricket".

Skerritt, who beat Dave Cameron to originally claim the post in 2019, said: "I am humbled and deeply honoured to be re-elected to serve as CWI President for a second term. 

"I take the responsibility to lead the Board of this prestigious organisation, most seriously. 

"We have much-unfinished work to do, and we renew our pledge to work untiringly to help achieve sustainable improvement, both on and off the field, for West Indies cricket."
