AFTER the West Indies secured their first home T20 International series win in two years, Head Coach Daren Sammy says it’s an important step in building a solid foundation ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup in 2028.

The Windies beat Sri Lanka 2-1 in the three-match series after a five wicket win at Sabina Park in Kingston on Sunday.

After bowling out the visitors for 169 thanks to a maiden five-wicket haul from man of the match Shamar Joseph, the Caribbean men looked in danger of falling short after struggling at 53 for 4.
