I'm announcing that after 8 seasons and 2 and a bit years in charge of the U20 WI NAT team, I'm going to be stepping back this time and letting someone else have a stab at it.
My reasons for this are fairly similar to the reasons why I was hesitant to run in the first place 2 seasons ago - I just don't have the time or the motivation to be on this game all that much anymore, and desperately need to scale back my involvement in the game, and that starts with relinquishing the U20 manager role. This has been especially obvious this season where I just haven't been very involved at all and have just forgot to do the tour posts which has lead to the U20 thread being deleted for inactivity (very sorry about that

I'd just like to give a quick thank you to all my assistants who worked tirelessly across 8 seasons, but a special mention has to go to desert7 who is practically the godfather of Windies U20 NAT's who spent roughly 30 seasons being involved in some way with the team before he left, and to Berksowl who has been a huge help especially this season as he took over running the team at points when I was away, and recieves my full backing for his election run.
I'm proud of the U20 one day world cup we managed to grab during my tenure, as well as 3 one day div 1's and 2 T20 div 1's, but the time is right to let someone else have a go.
Mon the Windies,
Maddog.
