Sir Andy Roberts Calls for CWI President and Coach to Resign<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

West Indies cricket legend Sir Andy Roberts has called for the resignation of Cricket West Indies (CWI) President Dr Kishore Shallow, Director of Cricket Miles Bascombe, and head coach Daren Sammy, citing mismanagement and a concentration of power.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on Observer Radio\u2019s Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, Roberts criticised Sammy\u2019s dual role as coach and selector, calling it detrimental to the game. \u201cThe Director of Cricket should walk, the President should walk, the coach should walk,\u201d he said.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

His comments follow the West Indies\u2019 historic collapse for just 27 runs in a Test match against Australia\u2014the second-lowest total in Test history. In response, CWI has called an emergency meeting, inviting cricketing legends including Sir Viv Richards and Brian Lara to help chart a path forward.<\/p>
