BRISTOL, England (CMC) — West Indies Head Coach Daren Sammy said he is extremely disappointed that the regional team has failed to win a single game so far during their current tour of England.

The West Indies were whitewashed 3-0 in the preceding One-Day International (ODI) series, and following their four-wicket defeat against England on Sunday they now trail the three-match Twent20 International (T20I) series 2-0, with the final game set to be played on Tuesday.

Speaking in a post-match interview following Sunday’s loss, Sammy said based on their performances against England last year in both ODIs and T20Is, the team had high hopes of doing well during the tour.

“I’m very disappointed,” Sammy said. “The way we played T20 in 2024, we were all looking forward to 2025 — especially the contests we have had over the last two years against England, even though it’s been at home. But we’ve been much more competitive.

“To lose both series and not get off the mark yet is very disappointing because of the calibre of players that we have in this team.”

Referring specifically to Sunday’s defeat, Sammy said even though the West Indies posted a competitive total of 196 for six from their 20 overs, he did not like the way in which the batters managed the innings.

He said their inability to dominate the middle overs after an encouraging start led to a loss in momentum.

“When you look at the average West Indian winning score, it’s about 190, but I thought we allowed them to settle in the middle between overs seven to 15 — I thought that was where we were off the ball a lot,” Sammy said.

“Obviously the way Rovman [Powell], Jason [Holder] and [Romario] Shepherd played the last five overs, that was just superb but we lost it in that batting between overs seven to 10 — first by not losing a wicket and only scoring, I think, 27 runs, and then we were going at just around a run-a-ball between 10 to 15.

“It took all the momentum. And even when you score 16 runs an over in the last five, it was not enough.”
