Bascombe will take over from Jimmy Adams, who had been in the role for the past six years, Cricket West Indies has announced.
“Bascombe, 37, played one T20 International for the West Indies in 2011 and played first-class cricket between 2007 and 2017, for both the Windward Islands and the Combined Campuses and Colleges. He is a graduate of the University of the West Indies with both Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees and is a certified coach,” Cricket West Indies said on its website.
