More, who was the head of the section committee back then, wanted to give Dhoni a chance because he was a ‘keeper who could get quick runs down the order’.
Hendricks backs Simmons despite WI form
Article by December 28, 2020
Former West Indies wicketkeeper, Jackie Hendricks, has thrown his support behind head coach Phil Simmons, despite the Caribbean side’s recent whitewash on the tour of New Zealand.
West Indies were thrashed by an innings in both Tests in Hamilton and Wellington, with both matches finishing before lunch on the respective fourth days.
The preceding three-match Twenty20 series also failed to produce any good fortune for West Indies as New Zealand came with a 2-0 series win.
While conceding he was bemused by the Windies form, Hendricks said he believed Trinidadian Simmons was the right man to lead the side.
