Cricket West Indies chief Ricky Skerritt has claimed that there are several in the cricketing circles who want captain Kieron Pollard and coach Phil Simmons to be sacked. Speaking to a local TV station, Skerritt was pulled into the conversation when asked if there would be a change in leadership. Skerritt argued that at the moment he does not see any need for the duo to be removed.
“I have no reason to believe there will be any change in coach and captain any time soon. But remember the captaincy is evaluated as is the coach. If the system says that these guys are not the right people, we will deal with it.”
A Cricbuzz report suggested that there were reports of an alleged rift in the West Indies team, however, the CWI chief nullified those claims stating that the allegations are mischievous.
West Indies will travel to India for a six match white ball series, where they will take on the subcontinental powerhouse ahead of the Indian Premier League for three ODIs and three T20Is.
