Jimmy Adams, CWI's Director of Cricket, said: "I am happy that we have been able to appoint Floyd to lead our Under-19 program and take the lads through to the World Cup early next year.

"I would also like to thank Graeme West who coached the U19 team in the last three campaigns, including winning the tournament in 2016. Graeme will continue to be involved in his current role as a High-Performance manager. He will provide valuable support for Floyd in the planning and execution of the program all the way through to the World Cup next year," he added.
