Former West Indies fast bowler,
Winston Benjamin, is suggesting a total overhaul of the current coaching staff for the senior West Indies men’s team in wake of their recent dismal performance against New Zealand in their two Test series.
Speaking on the
Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, Benjamin lobbied for the consideration of former opening batsman Desmond Haynes, stating that his knowledge probably makes him the best candidate for the job.
“I don’t know his technical ability when it comes to the paperwork but when it comes to natural cricket, cricketing ability and cricket knowledge he is probably one of the best we have. I don’t know the reason why he wasn’t looked at because from my recollection he was interviewed and I don’t think what we’re having now or seeing now is going to get us any place,” he said.

Well-known former national football coach
Rowan “Porridge” Benjamin has revealed that he will be a candidate in the next electoral congress for the Antigua and Barbuda Football Association (ABFA) due mid next year.
Benjamin, who is coach of the 2018/19 Premier Division champions, the Liberta Blackhawks, made the disclosure while speaking on the
Good Morning Jojo Sports Show, but did not disclose which position he intends to contest.
“I believe at this stage that I would really like to get into the administration of the game because I’ve seen too much and if it continues going the same way, then all the coaches will suffer. They are setting up coaches in Antigua to fail … at the national level, and it has to change and the current status quo wouldn’t do anything about it,” he said.
