9. West Indies, Phil Simmons – INR 64.5 Lakhs
West Indies was definitely the powerhouse of cricket when the likes of Vivian Richards, Brian Lara, Clive Lloyd etc used to play however this is no longer the case. CWI has failed to keep up with the momentum produced by their former cricketers.
Although West Indies have nothing to flex in the ICC Rankings, they can ravage any international side on their day. There are some players who have earned their names with this destructive gameplay. The likes of Kieron Pollard, Shimron Hetmyre, Nicholas Pooran, Andre Russell are counted in the world’s best T20 players.
Phil Simmons was appointed the head coach of the West Indies men’s cricket team in 2019 after the end of Floyd Reifer’s tenure. It would be safe to say that Simmons has done fairly decent work till now.
There is certainly very little cricket happening during these last two years but West Indies have successfully thrashed Bangladesh and Sri Lanka earlier this year.
West Indies are also the defending champions of the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 and Simmons will focus more on retaining the marquee ICC trophy this time also. For his contract with Cricket West Indies, Simmins fetches $ 0.09 Million annually.
