Simmons dismisses Test series, CPL clash as conflict

West Indies coach Phil Simmons says that there is no conflict between the upcoming Test series against India and the Caribbean Premier League (CPL)T20 Tournament happening at the same time in the Caribbean.

The centrally retained West Indies players have not been allowed to be drafted for the 2016 CPL T20 tournament because the Indian Test series in the region, will clash with the tournament in July and August.

Speaking on the matter Simmons said: “There is no conflict there, or no choice, the players have been retained for the Test series, they know that and they will play the Test matches.”
