No change to Windies captaincy, says coach

Darren Sammy is expected to hold onto his job as West Indies captain despite a wretched World Cup where he failed to impress with either bat or ball.



Reporters in Bangladesh have raised questions over Sammy’s future in the position after West Indies bowed out of the World Cup with a humiliating loss to Pakistan at the quarterfinal stage yesterday.



However, the Windies head coach Ottis Gibson says he expected Sammy to be in charge heading into next month’s Test series in the Caribbean against Pakistan.



Gibson says he is not expecting a change in leadership even though the captain didn’t make the runs that he would have expected to make.



Sammy, an all-rounder, mustered only 54 runs in six innings and got eight wickets at 25 apiece during the World Cup.



He was appointed captain last October ahead of the Test tour of Sri Lanka and has turned in several mediocre performances since then, scoring just 82 runs and taking nine wickets from 10 innings.
