Simmons a ‘father figure’: Walsh

ST JOHN’S, Antigua – Novice West Indies leg-spinning all-rounder, Hayden Walsh, says he has embraced head coach Phil Simmons as a “father figure”, following his international debut for the regional side last year.

“He’s like a father and I’d say he’s like a father-coach,” Walsh told the Observer here.

Leg-spinner Hayden Walsh.

“He’s stern when he needs to be stern, he jokes around when it’s time to joke around and when things are not right he puts them into place, so it’s like when your parents or father sees things are out of place and they would put them in place.
