Akeal was picked as cappo mainly because he works very closely with the WI team analyst for some time now...in a recent interview he even confessed he does 'home work' before every match after having a discussion with the analyst. Sammy also admitted he makes no decision without consultation with the analyst.
They should therefore all be on the same page. Sammy will not have to parade the boundary line during the match

I expect Akeal to be a good tactical cappo...we will see his man management skills soon.

In reply to Narper

Analysis, a device of a Daren Sammy tenure.

Moving forward I expect this to be a feature of WI backroom team management
