TORONTO
– Former West Indies cricket captain Clive Lloyd says Darren Sammy should not
have been relieved of his duties as skipper of the regional side for One-Day
International matches.

Sammy,
who has been retained as captain of the Twenty20 and Test teams, was removed as
leader of the ODI squad and replaced by Dwayne Bravo, who captained the side in
the just ended ICC Champions Trophy.
Lloyd,
who led West Indies during an era when they were world beaters, says the St
Lucian all-rounder deserved to be retained as captain since he had performed
well in the role.
“I
don’t have a problem with Dwayne’s [Bravo] captaincy. He is a fine cricketer
and can be called upon anytime,” said Lloyd. “But I think Sammy has taken over
the responsibility at a difficult time and he has done well since then and
deserved a longer try. However, I am confident they will do well against Sri
Lanka and India in the Caribbean.” (CMC)
