Reifer wants to build winners

Article by Mike King

ONE of Floyd Reifer’s major priorities as the new interim head coach of the West Indies will be on building a winning culture.

Speaking at a Cricket West Indies (CWI) press conference in Antigua yesterday morning, which was streamed across the Caribbean, Reifer said he was keen to see the regional team develop a winning feeling.

“My coaching philosophy is about building a winning culture and creating that honesty and trust among players.

“Communication is very important between players and staff. Honesty is very crucial as well,” said Reifer, a Barbados player and interim West Indies captain.

His first assignment will be the Tri-Nations One-Day Series in Ireland where the West Indies will play two matches against their hosts and Bangladesh from May 5 to 17. (MK)
