Former Bermuda batsman Lionel Cann has called for a restructuring of cricket on the Island, starting with the appointment of a technical director.

With Gus Logie set to end his four-year stint as national team coach, Cann believes now is the ideal time for local cricket to undergo a major facelift.

And he believes the BCB should follow the lead of the Bermuda Football Association and create a director of cricket-style post to oversee the running of the national programme.

"I don't think we need a national coach," said Cann. "We're at the stage now when we need someone to come and direct the whole of cricket – a technical director.

"He should organise the programme and the cricket board should follow what he wants to do. There's more to it than just needing a guy to come in and coach the national team.

"We need someone to come in and restructure the whole programme if we're to move forward."

Cann praised Logie's contribution as national coach and said he brought some much-needed professionalism to the senior set-up.

"He's a very good coach," said Cann.

"He came in when the sport was on its way out and he turned a bunch of amateurs into professionals and even carried us into the World Cup, so he took us to greater heights and I wish him all the best. I think he has benefited Bermuda as a whole, but Gus has done his time.

"I don't think he can do anymore for Bermuda cricket, but I don't think we need a new national team coach."

Malachi Jones, who was given his debut under Gus Logie, also hailed his impact as national coach.

"Coming to a small island like Bermuda, Gus bought the best out of our cricketers and gave a lot of things to cricket here so it was a pleasure working under him." said Jones, who took the wicket of Indian opener Robin Uthappa with his very first delivery at the '07 World Cup.

"He's a good coach, he took us to the World Cup and now that his tenure is over there is not much more he could do.

"He took us as far as he could and proved his worth, now it's time to find a new coach. Each coach has his own qualities and strengths and they all can provide something different to the side.

"So whomever they choose, it's up to him to find the players he needs to play his style of cricket."

Logie's final matches as Bermuda national team coach saw the Islanders lose against Uganda in an Intercontinental Cup clash and a 50-overs game.

The BFA appointed Derek Broadley, a former Crystal Palace academy director, as technical director 18 months ago.

The association has since set up a national academy at the new BFA Field and restructured the domestic leagues.
