Darren Sammy not concerned by critics

Darren Sammy has dismissed claims from critics questioning his inclusion in the West Indies team.

The Windies captain has had to defend his role in the side on a number of occasions and insists that his side are improving under his leadership.

Sammy said: "I try and do the best I can for West Indies. Everybody has an opinion and I respect that.

"Everybody might not like it but the team has been responding in the last few series we've played. People are free to talk, it's a free country."

The second Test between England and the West Indies begins on Friday at Trent Bridge.
