Andre Coley will lead West Indies Women on an interim basis for their upcoming series against Pakistan after Shane Deitz concluded his tenure as head coach at the end of October.
Cricket West Indies announced the change on November 3, saying the transition had been agreed by both parties as Deitz prepared to pursue another opportunity. The board did not identify that opportunity or announce a permanent replacement.
Coley, a former West Indies men’s Test head coach, will work with the existing support staff. CWI said he had remained involved in its wider coaching system through the High-Performance Programme and men’s A-team work.
The board said further leadership updates would follow, leaving the long-term appointment unresolved. Until another announcement, Coley’s role should be described as interim.
