Sammy deserved longer run - Lloyd

Fri, Jun 28, '13

Former West Indies cricket captain Clive Lloyd says Darren Sammy should not have been relieved of his duties as skipper of the regional side for One Day International (ODI) matches.

Sammy, who has been retained as captain of the T20 and Test teams, was removed as leader of the ODI squad and replaced with Dwayne Bravo who captained the side in the just ended ICC Champions Trophy.

Lloyd, who led West Indies during an era when they were world beaters, says the St Lucian all-rounder deserves to be retained as captain since he has performed well in the role.

"I don't have a problem with Dwayne's (Bravo) captaincy; he is a fine cricketer and can be called upon anytime," said Lloyd.
