Daren Sammy is staying positive despite his side’s perilous position in the Super Six standings.

West Indies’ loss to Netherlands in the Super Over, coupled with victories for Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka in their final group games, leaves Sammy’s side already four points off the qualification spots with a maximum of six points remaining available.

But the coach and former T20 World Cup-winning captain says that he’s staying positive.

“I’m a very positive thinker and I understand the journey that I have to take with this team,” he said. “Sometimes you’ve got to reach rock bottom go come back.

“I understand the challenges ahead, and I also understand that things won’t change overnight. It’s a true reflection of where our cricket is at the moment and we have a lot of work to do.” (ICC)
