Toronto—Former West Indies batsman Gus Logie has been appointed Canada’s coach for the second time. The 51-year-old, also a former Windies head coach, first led the side during the 2003 Cricket World Cup in South Africa and will take up his new duties from the upcoming ICC Intercontinental Cup and World Cricket League Championship in July. “Many thanks to Cricket Canada for giving me the opportunity to work with the many talented players within the Canadian system,” said the Trinidadian, who played 52 Tests and 158 One-Day Internationals for the West Indies. “Our vision is to produce in Canada a ‘Championship Team’ with technical skill and the mental and tactical awareness to compete at the highest level by developing the mind to win, the will to succeed, and the confidence to make it happen.”
 
Cricket Canada vice president and High Performance manager, Vimal Hardat praised Logie’s appointment, noting that he was confident the experienced coach could take the team forward. “Gus is a true champion who has a habit of winning as a member of the champion West Indies team in ’80s and as a coach, by leading West Indies to the 2004 Champions Trophy,” Hardat said. “We have huge confidence in Gus and his coaching capabilities. He comes in with great knowledge and we will give him time to settle in with his ideas to help us achieve the target of being a leading associate country.” Logie has built up an impressive resume as coach, leading West Indies to the capture of the 2004 Champions Trophy in England. He also coached Bermuda and led them to the 2007 World Cup in the Caribbean and more recently, headed up the Jamaica national team. (CMC)

ProudTrinbagonian:
so we coaching Canada football and cricket team....Yorke doing talent search for India

wish we could have a system in place for our ex-athletes to do it for T&T

frico:
Canada may play test cricket sometime in the next few years and it might be worth some Caribbean cricketers looking to that country as a way of playing the game at the highest level.Windies cricket been taken down to a very low level over the last few years and talented players with loads of potential are not being nurtured.The damage to our cricket may take another 10 years to repair by which time Zimbabwe,Bangladesh and NZ will be well advance of us,we could soon become a feeder for the likes of Canada and USA,they have the money for a better infrastructure than the Caribbean.
