KINGSTON, Jamaica – Well-regarded West Indies bowling coach, Roddy Estwick, has been sacked for the upcoming ICC World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe.

The 56-year-old, who joined the Caribbean side’s coaching staff 20 months ago, will be replaced by a coach from outside the region.

CWI president Dave Cameron confirmed the move but declined to name Estwick’s replacement citing “protocol”.

“We are bringing in a different bowling coach and we will also solidify the batting,” Cameron told TVJ Sports , while hinting at other changes in the management setup.

“I’m not sure I’m at liberty to disclose the name of the coach, but he’s not from the region. Again, we want to bolster our bowling. I believe that if we have good bowlers, then whatever we get to make our batting will take care of that.”

Need is coaches and camps across the region and changing coaches at the top is not going to make much of a change. When you learn at International level it is always going to be tough

“Solidify the batting.”



Like just go to the cupboard and pull out a brigh shiny Roland Holder

Chop and change and wait for Santa.

Wait, is who decide to not play Bishoo? That person needs to be eliminated from WI cricket.

And get a spot on CCC editorial board to verbalize the crap, rather than act on it!

If you don't deliver you must go...same like for players

This batting coach Radford Toby fella must go too...the batsmen are not getting better....same mistakes over and over...a coach can't sit back and say the batsmen not learning....his job is ensure they learn....otherwise GO

Change the players, changes the coaches but Cameron and his cabal remain undisturbed.
