Ambrose shocked by sacking
ST JOHN’S, Antigua (CMC) – Bowling legend Sir Curtly Ambrose says he is shocked by his sacking as West Indies bowling consultant, and claims he never saw the decision coming.
The 52-year-old, who has served in the role for the past three years, said he had only been informed of the decision by head coach Phil Simmons less than a week ago, and also pointed out that he had already planned his schedule around next month’s Tri-Nations Series and the four-Test India series starting in July.
“I only learnt about it from head coach Phil Simmons on Wednesday [last week], and when he told me I said to him that I am very disappointed, because I never expected it, and I never saw it coming because he never gave me any indication he was going to let me go,” Sir Curtly said.
