Dr Shallow: No conflict of interest with Sammy serving multiple coaching roles


PRESIDENT of Cricket West Indies (CWI) Dr Kishore Shallow believes there is no conflict of interest in Daren Sammy coaching both the West Indies team and the St Lucia Kings in the Republic Bank Caribbean Premier League (CPL).Shallow addressed the matter at a Cricket West Indies (CWI) quarterly meeting on October 1.Many people question Sammy coaching the Kings while being coach of the West Indies. “There is absolutely no conflict with the two roles,” Shallow said.

The CWI boss said the two roles will help Sammy improve as a coach.“I think importantly when we agreed to his participation in the CPL was mainly because we thought that the exposure presented a great opportunity for him as coach, to one – be very close to the game – and for his own personal development.” The CPL is one of the main tournaments used to select players for the West Indies T20 team.

“The CPL is all about developing our talent and talent does not just stop with players – coaches, the backroom staff, the physio and so on. We thought that his continued engagement in CPL, whether for the Kings or anyone else, would be to the benefit of CWI and West Indies cricket.”

Help the Deficient One improve as a coach at the detriment of the region? This all reeks of favoring one at the detriment of the majority. I caution again that Marlon Samuels has left the game so there's no savior for the Deficient One.

During commentary this morning one analyst asked "how can a player speak to the coach about issues when the coach is the only selector? There are things you would want to say to a selector that you cannot say to a coach".

He already stated that attacks on 27 is because he is from St Lucia


He will be incapable of pulling the proverbial trigger

Usual dotish response by CWI to a reasonable question


More coaching responsibilities will help Darren therefore he doesn’t take the additional coaching responsibility of the Nepal gig

He seems more concerned with Sammy's well being than the well being of West Indies Cricket.

1.There is nothing in Sammy's career that suggest that he will be a good coach for the Test side.

2. Sammy does not hold the necessary qualifications to be the coach of the West Indies.
