St. John�s (Antigua and Barbuda), Aug 6: Darren Sammy, who led West Indies to the World Twenty 20 title in 2012 and 2016, claimed that he has been sacked as captain in a 30-second phone call from the head of selectors.
The 32-year-old posted an emotional video on his Facebook page where he said his six-year spell in charge had ended.
Sammy, lying shirtless in his bed and with reggae music playing in the background, also said he had been dropped from the squad.
�I got a call yesterday, it was probably 30 seconds, from the chairman of selectors telling me that they�ve reviewed the captaincy of the Twenty20 team and I won�t be captain anymore and that my performances have not merited selection in the squad,� Sammy said in the video. � AFP
