T20 World Cup will be crucial for Sammy, says Bishop

Daren Sammy’s future as all-format head coach could hinge on the West Indies’ performance at the upcoming T20 World Cup, says renowned cricket commentator Ian Bishop.Sammy, who captained the West Indies to two T20 World Cup titles, has endured a tough start since becoming all-format head coach on April 1.He has won just two series: a historic 2-1 victory over Pakistan in their One Day International (ODI) series in August and a 3-0 whipping of Bangladesh in October in their T20I series.

However, he has suffered Test and T20I losses to Australia, a Test series loss to India, an ODI series loss to Bangladesh, while New Zealand downed the regional side in their recently concluded T20I, ODI and Test series.With the 2026 T20 World Cup set to be held in Sri Lanka and India from February to March, Bishop believes Sammy’s tenure could be tied to the West Indies’ showing at the marquee event.

Speaking during an interview on iSports i95.5 FM on Saturday, Bishop admitted that Sammy’s results thus far had been unflattering.“The results so far are not going to be pleasing reflection for Daren Sammy.

@sgtdjones

Trust the procedure 😀

@Halliwell

Trust the procedure

You mean trust the process.

The joke is no process exist.

The resident battylicker here says establishing a core number of key players is the process....classic 're-inventing' the wheel

....and the bigger joke is the core members keeps changing ever few months😀

@Narper

I can’t bring myself to call it a process;

leave that for KoolAid drinkers

I could see the usual suspects are out in their numbers hoping that the WI team will fail this Worldcup just to say Sammy failed. Sad.

Hate will eventually consume the Hater. Trust that process too.

@voiceofreason

The hatred, has nothing to do with cricket.

BLz trying to justify hate. I guess they do not hate losing.
