FORMER WEST Indies cricket team all-rounder and coach Phil Simmons has been appointed as a technical consultant coach by the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB), according to a post on the Pajhwok Afghan News website yesterday.
The 53-year-old, who was recently named as coach of the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) team St Kitts/Nevis Patriots, was fired as WI coach last September due to “differences in culture and strategic approachâ€, six months after overseeing the regional team’s successful campaign in the World T20 in India.
