ST. JOHN’S, Antigua: Darren Sammy has been named captain of West Indies to usher-in a new era of leadership for the beleaguered side.
In a predictable move, the West Indies Cricket Board announced this evening that the 26-year-old all-rounder will take over from Chris Gayle, and lead the side until the end of next year’s home series.
The regional governing body also made a surprising choice, elevating Australia-born left-hander Brendan Nash as Test-only vice captain for the same period. (CMC)
