Darren Sammy didn’t hold back when talking about the decline of West Indies Test cricket, comparing it to a “cancer” that has been growing slowly over many years. The two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain said that while young players have plenty of role models in the shorter formats, Test cricket in the Caribbean is struggling because of deep-rooted problems.

Sammy joked that the last time West Indies won a Test series in India was back in 1983 – the year he was born. But then he got serious. He explained that the problems with West Indies Test cricket didn’t start recently but have been building for a long time. “It’s like a cancer in the system,” he said, emphasizing that the issues run deep, not just on the surface.
