DARREN SAMMY has been sacked as West Indies Twenty20 captain four months after leading the region to an unprecedented second T20 World Cup triumph.
In a video posted on his Facebook page yesterday, the 32-year-old said he had received a call from new chairman of selectors, Courtney Browne, informing him he would no longer lead the squad or be a member.
“I got a call yesterday morning, it was probably 30 seconds, from the chairman of selectors telling me that they’ve reviewed the captaincy of T20 and I won’t be captain anymore of the T20 team, [and] my performances have not merited selection in the . . . squad,” Sammy said in the video.
“That’s okay, I’ve always believed West Indies cricket is not about Darren Sammy. They are looking to the future and I wanna wish the new captain – I don’t know if it’s out yet so I won’t call any names – all the best as he looks to lead West Indies cricket and take it forward.” (CMC)
