Muirhead added that whilst Gibson's tenure had not been

without its problems they were part and parcel of the job. "While there have also been some challenges along the way, these are not to be unexpected in such a dynamic and high pressure environment and the WICB looks forward to the continued development of the West Indies team through this next critical phase under Ottis' stewardship at the elite team level," Muirhead said. Gibson, a pace bowler who played two Tests and 15 one-day internationals, said he was delighted to have been signed up for a new term. "There is a lot to do and things to look forward to. There is the Champions Trophy in England this year, we will be defending the World T20 title in Bangladesh next year and there is the World Cup in 2015. "These are things we have talked about and these are things the selectors have been planning for," added Gibson. (AFP) PM PM 02060914 NNNN
