CWI Director of Cricket, Miles Bascombe said, “I sincerely thank Graeme for his 12 years of service to West Indies cricket. He has contributed significantly to the development of our High Performance system and has overseen many initiatives that we will continue to grow after he departs. We are grateful for his years of commitment and wish him the best as he turns the page to a new chapter in his career.” On his departure, Graeme West said, “I would like to thank CWI for the opportunities provided to me and my family over the last twelve years. I leave the organisation as a more experienced coach, a more rounded leader and a World Cup winner. Equally important to me are the relationships I have developed with players, coaches and the staff that have supported me throughout my time at CWI and I am sure will continue to do so in the future. My time spent in the Caribbean will forever hold a special place in my heart. My wife and I have raised our children on the beaches of Barbados and Antigua and we have thoroughly enjoyed and embraced the many cultures and diversity across the region.” During West’s 12 years of service for CWI, he spent five years based at the High Performance Centre, Cave Hill, Barbados and seven years based at the CWI Headquarters, Coolidge Cricket Ground (CCG), Antigua. As the West Indies Under 19 Men’s Head Coach (2016-2020) his key achievement was leading the team to World Cup success in 2016 and as West Indies ‘A’ Team Head Coach (2016-2018) he won series against Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
