New Date, new nominations and new names.

With the postponed annual general meeting of the Barbados Cricket Association (BCA) set for Tuesday, the new list of nominations shows two changes.

Businessman Al Knight is up for the position of treasurer, while umpire and civil servant Hensley Robinson replaces Carl Power on the board members' list.

Knight, who made sport headlines when he unsuccessfully challenged Captain Peter Short for the BCA presidency, will try to unseat Patricia Greenidge for the post of treasurer.

Greenidge, who last year became the first woman elected to the BCA board, was the only person without an opponent when the first list of nominations was released in July.

But that nomination process was rendered null and void when the BCA failed to hold its meeting on July 29 as scheduled because of administrative bungling.

The BCA went to court seeking a new date, but the court put the matter into the hands of the general membership, which selected Tuesday as the new date and reopened the nomination process.

The key contest is between president Tony Marshall and challenger Sir Conrad Hunte.

Sir Conrad's supporters include nominees Stephen Alleyne and Philip Nicholls, while Ken Hewitt and Knight have been linked to Marshall.

Other nominees such as Keith Simmons and Jeff Broomes have spoken out against the team concept.

The list of nominees:

President – Tony Marshall, Sir Conrad Hunte.

First vice-president – Stephen Alleyne, Ken Hewitt, Keith Simmons.

Second vice-president – Owen Estwick, Charlie Griffith.

Third vice-president – Jeff Broomes, Joel Garner.

Treasurer – Pat Greenidge, Al Knight.

Secretary – Philip Nicholls, Peter Symmonds.

Board members – Jeff Broomes, Desmond Browne, Richard "Prof" Edwards, Owen Estwick, Stephen Farmer, Bobby Goodman, Sam Headley, David Holford, Calvin Hope, Wendell Kellman, Basil Matthews, Philip Nicholls, Hensley Robinson, Conde Riley, Vernon Williams.
