Richard Pybus set to become West Indies' head coach

Tuesday, 1 January 2019


Richard Pybus, West Indies' high performance director, has agreed to take up the role of head coach full-time, replacing the interim coach Nic Pothas, reports ESPNcricinfo.
Pybus' contract will effectively run until the 2019 Test series against India, which follows the ODI World Cup in England.
The position of West Indies head coach had been vacant since Stuart Law resigned from the position less than two years into his job.
He left West Indies to take up a four-year contract with the English county team Middlesex.
Originally the fielding coach, Pothas was made interim head coach for the recent tour of Bangladesh that followed Law's exit. West Indies lost Test and ODI series 2-0 and 2-1 respectively, and won the T20Is 2-1.
