WI Cricket struggles with deep-rooted cancer: Sammy

New Delhi, Oct 8 (UNI) Darren Sammy, the head coach of the West Indies, has painted a stark picture of the state of Test cricket in the Caribbean, likening its decline to a cancer that has been allowed to grow unchecked for many years.
The two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain was candid about the challenges the team faces, acknowledging the value of criticism while emphasising that the issues at the heart of West Indies Test cricket are far from new.
Sammy, with his characteristic humour, pointed out that the last time the West Indies secured a Test series victory in India was back in 1983, the very year he was born. But the levity soon gave way to gravity. "It’s like a cancer in the system," he explained, stressing that the problems are deep-rooted rather than superficial.
