BCB extend Moore's contract

The Bermuda Cricket Board today confirmed they have negotiated a three-month extension to the contract of National Coach David Moore.

Moore’s original contract expired on February 28 and the former West Indies coach had expressed a desire to leave the post because of family and personal reasons. 

However, BCB president Lloyd Fray said in a press release: "We are very heartened to have secured the services for David for the next 90 days, a most important time for Bermuda cricket.

“In the next three months Bermuda's senior national team will be competing in both a T20 and a 50 overs World Cup qualifying event and having the support of David for these tournaments is a major boost.

“Arnold Manders will continue as the Interim National Coach under the guidance and mentoring of David. The extension also allows the Board to utilize David to further progress the outstanding national academy program, develop a club coach development structure and design an enhanced schools strategy (in conjunction with BSSF).

“These are all key initiatives decided by the BCB Executive which have been given priority in the 2013 operational plan."
