Phil Simmons has been reappointed as West Indies head coach, three years after he was controversially sacked from the position.

The 56-year-old former opening batsman previously held the role from 2015-16, with the Windies winning the ICC World T20 under Simmons before he was released due to “differences in culture and strategic approach”.
