Captain Rovman Powell: We're losing our way in T20s

WEST Indies T20 skipper Rovman Powell said his team lost their way towards the end of the year, after they succumbed to a 3-0 T20 series loss versus Bangladesh at the Arnos Vale Stadium, St Vincent and the Grenadines.Asked if his team owed the SVG crowd an apology, Powell said, "(We) don't necessarily (have to give a) public apology. We owe the people of the Caribbean to play good cricket. In this series, we haven't been able to do that so it's a bit disappointing."

In the final T20 of the series on December 19, the West Indies were bowled out for a paltry score of 109 in pursuit of a 190-run target – falling to a humiliating 89-run loss. It was Bangladesh's first series sweep against the Windies in the format, and also their first T20 series win over the Men in Maroon since a 2-1 win in 2018.

However, the Daren Sammy-coached team ended the year with three straight T20 series defeats, losing 2-1 to Sri Lanka and 3-1 to England, before being humbled by Bangladesh.

I believe Powell is stifled under Sammy's micro management of the team including selection the squad and playing XI.

If Powell was confident of making the Playing XI he would give up de cappoship.
