Darren Sammy Appointed Head Coach of West Indies Test Team

St. Vincent: Former West Indies captain Darren Sammy is all set to take over as head coach of the Test team too, adding to his responsibilities as the coach of the ODI and T20I teams. Sammy, who was part of the West Indies squads that won the Champions Trophy in 2004 and the T20 World Cup editions in 2012 and 2016 in his illustrious career, has been appointed as the head coach of the West Indies team across all formats. Cricket West Indies announced his appointment as coach of the Test team on Monday.

The announcement was made by CWI Director Miles Bascombe during the Quarterly Press Conference held in St. Vincent.

Sammy, a two-time ICC Men’s T20 World Cup-winning captain, has been head coach of the West Indies’ white-ball teams since May 2023. From April next year, he will assume the responsibility for the Test side as well. Sammy replaces Andre Coley as the Test head coach after the end of West Indies’ current World Test Championship cycle. IANS
