For­mer Guyana and West In­dies cap­tain Ramnaresh Sar­wan is ques­tion­ing the process sur­round­ing the ap­point­ment of West In­dies white ball head coach Daren Sam­my.

In a so­cial me­dia post on Wednes­day, Sar­wan said that 22 per­sons ap­plied for the po­si­tion, but on­ly the iden­ti­ties of the two short-list­ed can­di­dates were made known to the Crick­et West In­dies (CWI Board of Di­rec­tors.

He stat­ed, "The big ques­tion is why were the oth­er twen­ty (20) per­sons/coach­es not made known to CWI di­rec­tors, and al­so, why is this a big se­cret and is be­ing kept away from crick­et­ing pub­lic? In the in­ter­est of trans­paren­cy, those names should have been made avail­able, at least to di­rec­tors of CWI."

He fur­ther not­ed that Sam­my who has lit­tle coach­ing ex­pe­ri­ence was se­lect­ed over the oth­er short­list­ed can­di­date, Shiv­nar­ine Chan­der­paul who is a Lev­el 3 cer­ti­fied coach.

Sar­wan wrote fur­ther, "Chan­der­paul is ful­ly qual­i­fied with a lev­el III (3) cer­tifi­cate. Sam­my, al­most ze­ro coach­ing qual­i­fi­ca­tions. SHOCK­ING­LY, Dar­ren Sam­my con­firmed as coach. How is this pos­si­ble?"

He is call­ing on CWI pres­i­dent Kishore Shal­low, who like Sam­my is from the Wind­ward Is­lands, to make the cri­te­ria and method used for the se­lec­tion of the coach pub­lic.

He stat­ed, "The Pres­i­dent has a pro­fes­sion­al and moral oblig­a­tion to the Caribbean peo­ple and, with­out de­lay, make pub­lic the cri­te­ria/method used for the se­lec­tion of the coach. Is it be­cause Chan­der­paul is a Guyanese and Sam­my is from Wind­ward Is­lands?"
