Controversial Cricket West Indies president Dave Cameron has lost a vote to remain in the post, the governing body announced. Cameron was defeated eight votes to four by Ricky Skerritt, a former West Indies team manager in a ballot conducted in Kingston, Jamaica on Sunday.

Skerritt's running mate Dr Kishore Shallow, who challenged Emmanuel Nanthan for the vice-presidency, won by the same margin. "I am humbled and deeply honoured to be elected as president," said Skerritt in a CWI statement. "We pledge to work for improvement on and off the field for West Indies cricket." Cameron's six years as president were marked by a series of high-profile rows with several senior players, including Chris Gayle and Darren Sammy.
