The Saint Lucia National Cricket Association (SLNCA) has confirmed its leadership team for the upcoming term following its biennial general meeting held January 10 at the Odan Human Resource Development Centre. Wayne Auguste, a seasoned strategy and financial consultant, secured his second consecutive term as president after first assuming the role in 2023.
The newly formed executive committee features two significant changes to its leadership structure. Christopher Peters assumes the position of first vice president, succeeding John Estephane, who recently transitioned to parliamentary duties as the member for Babonneau and Minister in the Ministry of Tourism. In another strategic appointment, former West Indies women’s cricket captain Eugena Gregg joins the leadership as third vice president, taking over from Roseline Preville with specific responsibility for women’s cricket development.
Several incumbent officers retained their positions through unopposed re-elections, including Second Vice President Nerville Florence, Secretary Lucy Goodman, Treasurer Celestin Laurent, and Principal Secretary Jacqueline Inglis.
The association formally acknowledged the participation of its members and affiliates in the nomination process, noting the “spirit of unity and volunteerism that characterises our cricket community” in an official release.
Looking ahead to the new season, the SLNCA outlined an ambitious domestic calendar featuring multiple youth development programs and competitive tournaments. These include the Sandals Under-19 Boys’ Tournament, Prime Minister’s Independence Cup, Saint Lucia Premier League, and the return of women’s competitions such as the Alicia John T20 and Acynta Auguste 50-Over Tournaments.
In preparation for the upcoming season, the association presented the Cricket Umpires Association with 32 red-ball and 32 white-ball uniforms, ensuring officials are fully equipped for all formats of the game.
