Richards quits as Windies selector June 20, 2004 23:06 IST Former captain Viv Richards has resigned as West Indies' chairman of selectors, the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) said on Sunday. Richards is to join the BBC as a radio commentator for West Indies' tour of England. The WICB has appointed an interim selection committee for two months, pending a review of the management structure of the West Indies team. Former Test off-spinner Clyde Butts will join selectors Michael "Joey" Carew, who will serve as chairman of the interim committee, and former Test batsman Gordon Greenidge. Richards scored 8,540 runs in 121 Tests, the second-highest by a West Indies batsman after current captain Brian Lara passed him last November against Zimbabwe.
