ROSEAU – West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron on Saturday evaded questions on the future of head coach Phil Simmons and Test captain Jason Holder, choosing rather to launch a robust defence of his board’s performance in the face of mounting criticism.
Media reports over the last week said a proposal would be made at the quarterly board of directors weekend meeting recommending the sacking of Simmons and Holder, but Cameron offered only veiled statements regarding their discussions on the matter as he sidestepped both issues.
“We did discuss the two major risks that we have identified . . . the performance of the Test team and the ODI team so that was discussed at length,” he told reporters following the meeting,
“At the appropriate time [we will speak on the Simmons matter]. We have to continue the discussions internally and at the appropriate time we will make any announcements that are deemed necessary.” (CMC)
