(CMC) – Cricket West Indies (CWI) president Dr. Kishore Shallow has admitted that the performances of the senior men’s team in 2025 was not up to scratch.

Under all-format head coach Daren Sammy, the West Indies won just one of 10 Test matches, one of their five One Day International series and two of their five T20I series last year.

Speaking during the Mason and Guest radio programme, Shallow said the regional team had performed below par.

He said Sammy and his players, along with members of CWI’s board all had to shoulder some of the blame.

“We understand where we are in global cricket. We have not achieved the level of success that we want and certainly not at the pace that we want.

“We have seen glimpses of really great performances by our team, whether it was in Australia or Pakistan, but there have been lows, lows that we all are very disappointed in because there were opportunities where we believed we could have won matches and series that we haven’t,” Shallow said.

“There must be collective responsibility, including the head coach Daren Sammy. Players have to take responsibility as well and the board.”
