Less than a week after Cricket Canada announced that Mukesh Narula had been appointed the new National Cricket Coach for Canada comes new that Gus Logie, fired by Cricket Canada last year, has been appointed Head Coach by the Trinidad and Tobago Cricket Board (TTCB).

A TTCB media release stated “Gus (Augustine Lawrence Logie) comes to the TTCB with lots of experience not only as a coach but as a former player as well. His exposure to what is happening outside of T&T would serve him well as he can now use that knowledge to our benefit. He is a great individual who understands people and this would be an asset. He never shuns hard work and knows what is required to succeed having had to overcome many hurdles himself in the different areas of his personal and professional life.”
“The TTCB thinks that Gus is the right person to take T&T’s cricket forward as he will bring a different approach to being professional. He will have at his disposal a full time technical team to work alongside to ensure better results are achieved by our national senior teams. We welcome Gus to the TTCB.”
The TTCB, and the women’s cricketing organization in T&T that used to be separate, has provided significant assistance to the Canadian Cricket Association/Cricket Canada in recent years. Yannick Ottley and Marlon Richards from Trinidad were due to play in the Alberta T20 Superbash in Calgary last weekend. Both played in Cricket Canada’s 2013 CIBC National Cricket League, staged in the Greater Toronto Area. At least someone has fixed an error in the number of overs bowled by Henry Osinde in the CricHQ scorecard for the 2013 CIBC National T20 Final in the course of the last year. Osinde was shown as having five rather than the “allowed maximum” of four overs in the original Cricket Canada version on CricHQ.
