In an era where data has become integral to the success of sports teams worldwide, West Indies cricket has found its secret weapon in performance analyst Avenash Seetaram. Darren Sammy, head coach of the West Indies white-ball team, has openly acknowledged the immense role Seetaram plays behind the scenes, elevating the team’s tactical acumen.

Speaking candidly in an interview with The Cricket Monthly, Sammy said, “Avenash is top quality. I’m not going anywhere and [to] no team without having him. He’s been the backbone of our planning.”

“I’ve made these comments before—back then we relied mainly on our natural talent and the knowledge you have as a captain. I promise you that had I and the West Indies team paid more attention to the data, we would have been so much better; I would have been a much better captain,” Sammy added.

with someone else doing the hard grind which he obviously cannot understand nor know how to implement strategies from interpreted data he now has more time to draw stick figures and "pompose''

So if we have so much better data, and we are still losing, does that mean that the players are incompetent?

Sammy, is idiot par excellence......top coaches around the world...winning world cup, fighting it out for test championship.....never heard anyone, revealing anything beyond dressing room.....Sammy , started his tenure as white. ball coach March 2023....more than 2 years....still lying 9th......going out and shouting about Secret Weapon and blah blah.....
I would have been a much better captain,” Sammy added.


He should tender his unconditional apology to Gayle,Marlon,Badree,Bravo et al......team won because of the once in generation players.....in the first world cup, Sammy did contribute in final..... second time around hiding,hiding and more hiding.....
