Daren Sammy, the former West Indies skipper who delivered two T20 World Cups to the Caribbean team, has been appointed as the head coach of the national side in all formats of the game.
Sammy’s all-format stint will begin from April 2025, when he’ll take charge of the Test team.
He has been the head coach of the white-ball team (ODIs and T20Is) since May 2023.
The former all-rounder will replace Andre Coley as the Test head coach after the end of West Indies’ current World Test Championship cycle.
West Indies are currently last in the WTC25 standings, with a 24.24 point percent and are out of contention for the finale at Lord’s next year, read the ICC website.
West Indies will play a two-match series against Pakistan next.
“It’s an honour to represent the West Indies in any capacity and with the new role he has mapped out the new direction,” Sammy said at a press conference following the announcement as quoted by the ICC website.
