Roseau, Dominica – Allrounder Darren Sammy will captain the Windward Islands in the upcoming West Indies Cricket Board 50-Over Tournament, to be played in Jamaica from October 14 to 24. Sammy, the 26-year-old St Lucian, took over the leadership of the team earlier this year from allrounder Rawl Lewis and has been at the helm since then. He led the side in the WICB Caribbean T20 in July.
Sammy will have a key role with both bat and ball in a side which also includes West Indies players: left-hander Devon Smith, wicket-keeper/batsman Andre Fletcher, off-spinner Nelon Pascal, and off-spinner Shane Shillingford. For this tournament, the Windwards will be without the services of 36-year-old Lewis, who has been a stalwart in the team since making his regional debut in 1992.
