West Indies captain Shai Hope is optimistic about their upcoming series against England, recalling their success in the previous series. However, Roland Butcher, a former selector, expresses deep concern over the team’s management under Daren Sammy, who now holds dual roles as coach and selector. Butcher believes this concentration of power may hinder progress and put the team at risk of further decline. He reflects on the wealth of experience available from past selectors, emphasizing their willingness to help amidst ongoing struggles as the team prepares for challenging matches ahead.
We played them at the end of last year and we won that series so we know they're going to be coming at us even harder this time, he said. We're looking forward to it.
We're struggling, and the struggle is not over. We haven't hit rock bottom yet. The concentration of power across all three formats in the hands of one coach and selector is what Butcher fears will push us to the bottom.
