“The timing is wrong, to be quite blunt,” declared Ambrose on Saturday. Simmons’ sacking has triggered angry responses from an increasing number of cricketers including Kieron Pollard and Darren Sammy.

“If you weren’t happy with the things he said, why to pull a coach off a tour two or three days before?” said Ambrose.

The WICB has said its decision to sack Simmons was based on Public pronouncements of the coach as well as differences in cultural and strategies approach.
