Haynes, Sammy question Pybus’ return to WI

KINGSTON: The West Indies opening great Desmond Haynes had publicly questioned the process behind Richard Pybus’ return to cricket in the West Indies as high performance director - a post newly created by Cricket West Indies (CWI). The much-travelled coach returns just over a year after he had left as team director.

“It would be great to ask the [CWI] president [Dave Cameron] about this appointment and when was this position advertised,” Haynes posted on his Facebook account. The the post was not advertised and Cameron did have a direct hand in Pybus’ appointment, without interviewing any candidates. Haynes was not the only skeptic. Darren Sammy, the former West Indies captain who led during Pybus’ tenure as director, expressed disbelief at his return on Twitter.
