Former Jamaica Cricket Association (JCA) president Paul Campbell has not ruled out the possibility of running for the post again.

According to Campbell, who was voted out of office on Wednesday at the JCA's bi-annual annual general meeting, while he will not be actively seeking to regain the post, he believes he still has a contribution to make to the development of the sport locally.

"It is not something I would decide on now," said Campbell, shortly after the heated and sometimes contentious poll in which he lost 35-55 to incumbent vice-president and former national all-rounder, Lyndel "Muddy" Wright.

101 delegates

A total of 101 delegates were eligible to vote.

"But what I can tell you is that starting now to try to wrestle back the presidency is not me.

"This represents the end of my terms as an executive member, but it is not the end of my contribution to Jamaica's cricket," he added.

Campbell, a businessman by profession, took control of the association's top post in 2008 after defeating former West Indies and Jamaica captain Courtney Walsh by four votes.

However, after a successful first year in office in which he oversaw several regional, senior, junior, women and visually-impaired triumphs, he started to face difficulties in year two which, according to him, led to his administration's eventual demise.

"We started to go wrong over the last year. We tried but were just not able to bring everything and everyone together," he said.

Asked what he thought of Wright's elevation to the top post, Campbell had this to say:

"I believe that with support and the persons around him, they can succeed as an administration. I would say to him that he needs to be a bit more decisive as as a leader, you must be able to do that to ascertain results."
