St John's: Former West Indies captain Richie Richardson was on Saturday named as team manager just five weeks before the start of the World Cup.
"I feel tremendously honoured to be once again asked to serve West Indies cricket. I believe that it is critical for me to lend support to the efforts to re-develop the sport in the region," said 49-year-old Richardson who quit playing in 1996.
"As a former player and captain I gave my all for West Indies cricket on the field. We are at the cusp of a new era and it is now time for me to contribute off the field and aid in the building and resurgence of West Indies cricket."
Richardson played 86 Tests and 224 ODIs, scoring a total of 21 centuries and 71 fifties in his international career.
Richardson has been appointed for a two-year term and will commence duties immediately in preparation for the West Indies tour to Sri Lanka for three ODIs to be followed by the World Cup campaign which starts in South Asia on February 19.
