Cricket West Indies today announced that the role of Head Coach for the West Indies Senior Men’s Teams will be split into two separate positions.
Recruitment for both Head Coach roles will start immediately for a Red Ball Head Coach for the Test and A Team cricket, as well as a White Ball Head Coach for One-Day and T20 International cricket.
CWI’s director of cricket, Jimmy Adams noted that separating the roles will provide the Head Coaches with more time to oversee ongoing development of players, away from tours, and through increased engagement and planning with suitable high-performance programmes and coaches.
The position of West Indies Men’s Head Coach became vacant when Phil Simmons resigned following the 2022 ICC T20 World Cup – and subsequently relinquished the post following the end of the West Indies tour of Australia last December.
