West Indies head coach Phil Simmons will step down from his role at the end of this year, following the Caribbean side’s debacle at the ongoing T20 World Cup where they failed to reach the Super 12 stage.
West Indies, the T20 World Cup’s most successful team with triumphs in 2012 and 2016, crashed out of the showpiece event in the group stage, after losses to Scotland and Ireland. They beat Zimbabwe in the round-robin league but that was good enough to finish at the bottom of the four-team group. This was the first time WI failed to advance further from the group stage since the inaugural tournament in South Africa in 2007.

Simmons described the side’s early exit from the T20 World Cup as unfathomable. “I acknowledge it’s not just the team that is hurting, but the proud nations we represent as well. It’s disappointing and heart wrenching, but we just didn’t turn up,” he said in a statement.
