CRICKET

Phil Simmons has been reappointed West Indies head coach, three years after he was controversially sacked. The 56-year-old held the role from 2015-16, with the Windies winning the ICC World T20 before he was released due to “differences in culture and strategic approach”. Simmons coached Ireland from 2007 until 2015 and was most recently in charge of Afghanistan.
