Phil Simmons has been appointed coach of the West Indies for a second spell on a four-year deal, the country’s cricket board (CWI) has said. Simmons, who takes over from interim coach Floyd Reifer, was first named coach after the 2015 World Cup but was suspended for a period later that year for questioning selectors. Simmons first assignment will be West Indies’ series against Afghanistan in November, which will be played in India. The teams will play three T20 internationals, followed by three one-day internationals and one test match. (Reporting by Rohith Nair in Bengaluru; Editing by Simon Jennings/Peter Rutherford )
