Cricket Canada have announced that chairman of selectors Chris James will retire effective immediately. James who has served in multiple capacities in Canadian cricket over the past 20 years had initially retired earlier this year but was asked by the organization to stay on to help direct a critical push through the World Cup Qualifiers.
It seems likely that this is at least related to the national team’s dismal performance in the WCT20 qualifier – Cricket Canada appears to be making some drastic changes, with the replacement of the national team coach, and now will be looking for a new selection chair. It does seem however that the squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier has been decided, based on the announcement of Andy Pick as coach, so perhaps Chris James is now stepping back with his role coming to an end as planned.
