Sammy To Lead Windies In The Shorter Form Of The Game Also

by Dexter Theodore

Darren Sammy has been appointed captain of the West Indies cricket team for the 5 ODI's and the Twenty20 match as the Sri Lanka tour continues next week.

Darren's first test series ended in an honourable draw after persistent rains ruined all of the 3 test matches played during the first leg of the tour.

Sammy said to ESPNcricinfo.com: "... there were a lot of positives but there is still a lot of room for improvements. I am learning to do my job efficiently and I would like to see personal improvements."

The ODI squad is Darren Sammy (capt), Adrian Barath, Carlton Baugh (wk), Sulieman Benn, Darren Bravo, Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Kirk Edwards, Chris Gayle, Nikita Miller, Kieron Pollard, Ravi Rampaul, Kemar Roach, Andre Russell, and Devon Smith.
