Head coach Phil Simmons said his West Indies team “didn’t turn up” and it was back to the drawing board after Ireland dumped the two-time champions out of the T20I World Cup on Friday.
The West Indies’s World Cup ended in the first round at Hobart, a far cry from winning the title in 2012 and 2016 and the latest disappointment for the once-powerful Caribbean side. They similarly won only one match at last year’s World Cup. “We just didn’t turn up today,” Simmons said after the West Indies were thrashed by nine wickets.
