The West Indies appointed Floyd Reifer as its new interim head coach on Thursday, who replaced Richard Piabus with a series of at least administrative changes two months before the World Cup.
The contract of the Pubes went beyond the World Cup in England and Wales, but the new Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Ricky Schreit said that the changes needed to re-establish the passion of cricket in the field were necessary and a "strategic move "Was calculated.
Born in Barbados, Reifer played six Tests, eight one-day internationals and one Twenty20 for West Indies between 1997 and 2009, before going into coaching.
Skerrit said at a press conference in Antigua, "By the end of 2018, Floyd Reifer was recognized as an excellent emerging local coach."
"He successfully displayed this while leading the West Indies A team, including the win against England Lions, and last year in Bangladesh by giving coaching to senior men's team winning a T20 series."
England's Piebaus replaced Australian Stuart Law in January. He directed the team to win a Test series on England, while the one-day series ended 2-2 against the top-order.
Among other changes, Skerrit overhauled the selection panel, in which Robert Haynes replaced Courtney Brown as interim head of selectors.
They said, "We have found it necessary to adjust our selection policy to make it more open, inclusive and player-centric."
"I am happy to confirm that we have terminated the old embedded selection policy which secretly, but actively afflicted some of the players and made them disappear from selection."
As part of the old selection policy, the availability for the domestic tournaments was required to be selected for the West Indies team, but Skerrit said that the selectors will be allowed to choose all the players who make themselves available.
Controversial disputes between the players and the CWI have weakened the team for many years, but Thursday's announcement could pave the way for players like Keiron Pollard to return to ODIs for the first time since 2016.
"Participating in the World Cup is a career experience for West Indies players and coaching staff," said Skerrit.
"We believe that it proves to be more strategically advantageous for the West Indies coach, in which this skill set is at the expense of CWI - rather than foreign coach."
Twice winners The West Indies opened the World Cup campaign against Pakistan in Nottingham on 31 May.
