Sir Andy Roberts Calls for CWI President and Coach to Resign
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.
Speaking on Observer Radio’s Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, Roberts criticised Sammy’s dual role as coach and selector, calling it detrimental to the game. “The Director of Cricket should walk, the President should walk, the coach should walk,” he said.
His comments follow the West Indies’ historic collapse for just 27 runs in a Test match against Australia—the 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.

The President of CWI is running for representational politics in his native land St. Vincent and the Grenadines. It is likely that before this year is out or soon thereafter, he would no longer be able to hold on to the CWI Presidency. From all reports, he is likely to win his South Leeward Constituency. As for the coach, when a team does well, the coach shares in in teams glory. When the team does poorly, the teams management and coach must be held to account.
I hope the people of that South Leeward Constituency are paying attention to what he has done to WI cricket. We thought we were on the way up from the bottom but he has taken us even deeper into the abyss. They are getting a free preview of what to expect if they make the mistake of electing him. He is Shallow in name and intellect.
I agreed with sir Andy. In the first place, Sammy is not a qualified coach or even a successful player. Why did he got the job instead of the greater Chandapaul 🐅
