BRIDGETOWN (CMC):<\/strong><\/p>\n

FORMER WEST Indies women\u2019s head coach Courtney Walsh<\/strong> said he was disappointed with the timing and handling of his dismissal, but he was satisfied with the work he and the coaching team had put into the players.<\/p>\n

Cricket West Indies announced on Tuesday their decision not to renew the contract of the former West Indies men\u2019s captain and record-breaking fast bowler and his assistant coaches, Robert Samuels and Corey Collymore.<\/p>\n

\u201cI was surprised at the time when I was told, but it was a job, and I was employed until the end of last month when I was told the contract won\u2019t be renewed,\u201d Walsh said from his native Jamaica on the Mason & Guest cricket talkshow on Tuesday on VOB 92.9 FM in Barbados.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe timing was very surprising. I would have much preferred to have known earlier, but that\u2019s not my call \u2026 I got a message to call him (CWI director of cricket, Jimmy Adams) and I called him, and he told me the contract won\u2019t be renewed.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walsh said he was in Antigua at the time when he was informed about the decision on March 30 during a conversation with Adams that was not lengthy because his fellow Jamaican was on tour with the West Indies men\u2019s team at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was difficult for him to sit and talk, but I thought seeing the CEO (Johnny Grave) was in Antigua at the time, he probably could have walked me through it, but that is how it is,\u201d he said.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI was also disappointed to find out that the other coaches were not going to be reinstated as well. I thought we were making some strides with the girls and the pool of players we had at the time. We suffered injuries to players at some crucial times, but we still fought through it, and I felt the coaches worked really hard in trying to get the best team we could on the park in tough times.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis was not the case, unfortunately, but I was proud of the work and the effort the guys put in and the energy they tried to bring to the team under trying conditions. Our pool of players was very limited, and we did the best we could have done with what we had.\u201d<\/p>\n

Walsh replaced interim head coach Gus Logie in October 2020, and under his guidance, West Indies women won 11, lost 17, and tied two of 32 ODIs, while winning seven, losing 15, and tying one of 24 T20Is.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe appraisal only six months ago, there was no indication that anything was going wrong or we were not doing the best that we could,\u201d Walsh said.<\/p>\n

The most noteworthy performances for the West Indies women under Walsh were home and away series wins against Pakistan and a semi-final spot in the ICC Women\u2019s Cricket World Cup 2022, New Zealand.<\/p>\n

During his tenure, Walsh had to deal with the sudden retirement of world-rated all-rounder Deandra Dottin from international cricket, which he described as \u201ca big loss\u201d, and the absence of former captain Stafanie Taylor with injury.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
