SimmonsÂ’ future to be decided within seven days
Wed, Sep 30, '15
ST JOHN’S—Suspended head coach Phil Simmons will know his fate within the next week, after he meets with a West Indies Cricket Board human resource panel to discuss his controversial comments.
WICB chief executive, Michael Muirhead, said yesterday the 52-year-old Trinidadian had been called to answer “breaches of confidentiality and bringing West Indies Cricket Board into disrepute.”
Simmons told media in Barbados last Friday that the selection process regarding the one-day team had been influenced by “interference from outside” and as a result, the best side had not been chosen for the three-match series against Sri Lanka starting next month.
“What has happened with Phil Simmons is most unfortunate. Rest assured, he has not been fired. Let us say he’s been called to answer breaches of confidentiality and bringing West Indies Cricket Board into disrepute,” Muirhead said.
