West Indies lose strength and conditioning coach

Bryce Cavanagh, an Australian hired in April 2005, has resigned as West Indies' strength and conditioning coach following the Test series against Pakistan.

Cavanagh's two-year contract was close to expiring but his sudden, premature exit was still a surprise. He has not been replaced for the remainder of the tour, and caribbeancricket.com reported that assistant coach David Moore will fill in as strength and conditioning coach in the interim.

Cavanagh was hired to control of fitness level tests and required standards for players at first-class and international level.
