Darren Sammy joins CWI as independent non-member director

Sammy, who led his country in 128 international matches across all formats, will be serving as an independent non-member director in the board for two years. Cricket West Indies president Ricky Skerritt stated that Sammy’s role in the position would be to make sure adequate questions are imposed, keeping the note of innovative ideas and concrete solutions for the team’s welfare.

"I am delighted to welcome Daren Sammy as an independent, non-member Director whose role will be to ensure that all the right questions are being asked while contributing to the shaping of new ideas and solutions," Skerritt said.

"Daren's fairly recent experience as a two-time World Cup-winning captain will bring with him a much needed modern-day cricketer's perspective which should add valuable insights to Board discussions and decision-making. His appointment is testament to our commitment to strengthen CWI's governance, and to utilise expertise from across all stakeholder groups,” Skerritt mentioned. 

"All my local, regional and international experiences have prepared me to make a significant ongoing impact in West Indies cricket. I am excited and thankful for the chance to serve and look forward to giving back to the sport and region that I love so much, he added.
