Adams, who represented West Indies as a player and captain during his career, replaces Englishman Richard Pybus who did not seek to renew his contract, CMC quoted the Trinidad Guardian as reporting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Reports also said Australian Stuart Law has been appointed as the new head coach to fill the position left vacant by Phil Simmons who was fired in September.<\/p>\n
The decision to fill the two positions were reportedly taken at the weekend at the WICB’s final quarterly meeting which took place in St Maarten.<\/p>\n
Jamaican Adams resigned as head coach of English county side Kent earlier this year after serving five seasons between 2012 and October 2016.<\/p>\n
Pybus is expected to remain for a while to ease Adams into the position.<\/p>\n
Law, 48, is the former coach of Sri Lanka and Bangladesh who played one Test and 54 One-Day Internationals for Australia.<\/p>\n
His first assignment will be to lead the regional team in February when England visits the Caribbean for a series of three ODIs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
