PUNE, India (CMC) — West Indies cricket selectors seem to be coming under increasing pressure to review the role of Test captain Darren Sammy following the team’s humiliating innings defeat to India in the recently concluded two-match Test series.
For the third time in recent days a former West Indies captain is calling for selectors to consider Sammy’s future in the team.
Clive Lloyd has conceded that Sammy has been a unifying force in the Windies setup, but now believes that his role in the team has now become an unsettled issue.
“Sammy as a captain has brought the guys together. They are definitely looking a better bunch under his leadership,” said Lloyd, who led the most dominant Test team of all time in mid-1970s and ’80s.
“But now, I think people are taking a look at the balance of the side.”
The West Indies captain made a total of 25 runs in the four innings and went wicketless, forcing questions to be asked of his role as an all-rounder in the team.
