Cricket West Indies (CWI) has appointed former West Indies player Phil Simmons as the new head coach of the men's team.He will remain in charge of the team for a period of four years. The board also announced the appointment of three new selection panels.Prior to the appointment of new head coach, the board had made it clear that "persons without West Indian heritage need not apply for the post"."Bringing Phil Simmons back is not just righting a past wrong, but I am confident that CWI has chosen the right man for the job at the right time.

I have no doubt that Phil brings the requisite leadership skills and experience needed to drive improvement across our international squads and I look forward to supporting him in the role," CWI's Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams said.The selection panels are as follows:WI Men's PanelLead Selector: Roger HarperSelector: Miles BascombeWI Women's & Girls' PanelLead Selector: Ann Browne-JohnSelector: Travis DowlinWI Boys' PanelTalent ID Manager: Robert HaynesWest Indies men's team will take on India in a three-match ODI and three-match T20I series.( With inputs from ANI )
