West Indies coach Phil Simmons has apologised to the team’s fans in the wake of their “heart-wrenching” exit from the T20 World Cup, announcing he will step down from the role following this year’s Test tour of Australia.
The West Indies shockingly missed out on the Super 12 stage of the World Cup after they finished last in Group B having been humbled by Ireland and Scotland.
It’s a massive fall from grace for the two-time champions who won the 2016 tournament with Simmons at the helm.

Simmons said he’d been thinking about this decision for a while and will be hoping for one last bit of success when the Test side takes on Australia in Perth and Adelaide later this year.
