CRICKET WORLD CUP WEST INDIES

HARPER VACATES WINDIES ROLE

Roger Harper has decided not to re-apply for his position as West Indies coach.

The West Indies Cricket Board invited new candidates to come forward following their side's early elimination from the World Cup.

Harper was given the option of re-applying, but is believed to have stepped down to spend more time with his family.

Harper told PA International: "I did not re-apply. I don't have anything planned just yet, but I will think about my options before I make my next move."

The West Indies return to action next month with a Test series against Australia, which begins on April 10.

Former West Indies batsman Gus Logie, who was in charge of minnows Canada at the World Cup and also looks after the West Indies Under-19 team, has been tipped to take over as coach.

Ex-South Africa and Warwickshire coach Bob Woolmer was also linked with the post.
