West Indies Coach Daren Sammy Eyes End to 24-Year ODI Series Drought in IndiaPreviousNext

West Indies head coach Daren Sammy views the upcoming three-match ODI series against India, scheduled from September 27 to October 3 across Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati, and New Chandigarh, as a key opportunity to end a 24-year wait for an ODI series win in India. Sammy highlighted the series as a chance to test his team's progress and prepare for the 2027 World Cup qualifiers. Despite being ranked 10th, West Indies have shown improvement, with players like Shai Hope and Alzarri Joseph expected to play pivotal roles against the top-ranked Indian side.
