Darren Sammy Retires from Test cricket

[koushik]

Darren Sammy retired
from Test cricket on
Friday just hours after
being replaced by Denesh
Ramdin as West Indies
captain.
Sammy, 30, had been in
charge of the Test team
since October 2010.
The West Indies Cricket
Board (WICB) said that he
will remain in charge of
the Twenty20
international squad.
Sammy played in 38
Tests, captaining in 30 of
those appearances.
The 30-year-old Sammy
made 1323 runs in Tests
at an average of 21, and
a highest score of 106
against England at Trent
Bridge in 2012. With the
ball, he took 84 wickets
at 35 runs apiece, with
four five-wicket hauls.
There was speculation
Sammy could not
command a place in the
West Indies Test side
outside of his role as
captain.

He doesn't deserve to be in the Test team anyways. Now WI can play an extra seamer or a genuine allrounder.
