West Indies’ new T20 captain Carlos Brathwaite said a vote of confidence from his predecessor Darren Sammy and encouragement from the senior players made his transition into the role easier.
The WICB named Brathwaite to lead the side against India in two T20 matches in Florida on August 27 and 28.
Sammy, who led West Indies to two World T20 titles, had announced the news of his axing as captain through a Facebook post and was later dropped from the squad.
Brathwaite stressed that members in the West Indies side were “mature enough” to handle a change in leadership.
He added the players enjoyed each other’s company and, from that point of view, leading the side would be easy.
