West Indies cricket is in deep trouble right now as the team had its worst T20 World Cup campaign ever in 2022 and now their head coach Phil Simmons has decided to step down after the tour of Australia. The Caribbean team is in need of a head coach who can not only manage the current team but also take it to its glory days.
West Indies will be hosting the next edition of the T20 World Cup along with the USA in 2024. They will need a head coach who can build a new team that can avoid embarrassment in front of the home fans in 2024. Here are five retired Indian cricketers whom WI can consider.
1. Virender Sehwag could revive West Indies cricket
Former Punjab Kings coach Virender Sehwag was known for his aggressive brand of cricket. He can instill fearlessness in the current squad of the Caribbean, and then, they could become one of the most dangerous teams again.
2. Ashish Nehra could revive West Indies cricket
Ashish Nehra showed in IPL 2022 that he can use the available resources to perfection and make the most out of them. Nehra could be a great choice to become the next WI head coach.
3. Anil Kumble
Another former Punjab Kings coach to feature on this list is Anil Kumble. He has left the Mohali-based franchise now and could join with the Caribbean side to revive their cricket team.
4. Ravi Shastri
Former Indian head coach Ravi Shastri played a major role in the team’s success away from home. He changed the thought process of the Indian cricketers. WI need a coach like Shastri who can make them successful again.
5. Wasim Jaffer
Wasim Jaffer has served as a coach for Indian domestic teams and also IPL franchise Punjab Kings. He could prove to be a great choice as a coach for the Caribbean side.
