BRIDGETOWN, Barbados – The members of the West Indies team based in the Caribbean departed from Barbados on Tuesday evening for the tour of New Zealand.  All these squad members have completed COVID-19 tests and were all given a clean bill of health to travel.

On arrival in New Zealand, the squad will be based in Christchurch where they will quarantine before commencing training and warm-up matches. There are two squads, one for the three-match T20 International (T20I) Series and one for the two ICC World Test Championship matches which follow immediately afterward. Six reserve players will travel with the Test squad to prepare and ensure replacements are available in case of any injury and, along with other members of the T20I squad, will form an ‘A’ Team to play two four-day matches concurrently with the Test team.

Phil Simmons leads the coaching staff as Head Coach. The coaching staff includes Roddy Estwick, Monty Desai, Rayon Griffith, Andre Coley and Trevor Penny, as the Assistant Coaches.

I believe Roddy Estwick is bowling coach
Monty Desai is batting coach
Trevor Penny is fielding coach

Does anyone know in what capactity are Rayon Griffith and Andre Coley going as?

Thanks


I also expect the batting to perform creditably in this series with Monty Desai returning as batting coach.

Unfortunately, we did not have a proper batting coach for the England series and we saw how that series turned out.
