ST. JOHN'S, Antigua CMC:
West Indies head coach, Bennett King, says there are several players who can take up the mantle of captaincy of the regional team.
Speaking on the heels of Shivnarine Chanderpaul's resignation, King pointed to players like A-team captain Sylvester Joseph as possible candidates for the job.
"There are a number of players I suppose in the side that have got reasonable experience, having been around international cricket for quite some time." King told the Antigua Sun Wednesday.
"I thought Sylvester Joseph did a very good job with the West Indies A side as well. "But certainly the players that we have got and the help that is surrounding them, I think there is always room for development and improvement."
King pointed out that leadership was an area in West Indies cricket which needed to be addressed.
"Certainly leadership is one of those areas that I think the West Indies need to take a good look at as well," the Australian said. "It is an area in our cricket which we need to try to nurture and develop, and great leaders just don't fall out of trees.
"They come along every now and then and if they are backed up with a very good team, people automatically think that he is a very good leader, but that is not always the case either."
