Sammy Expected to Captain Team in Pakistan!

Teams in the 2017 Pakistan Super League are in the hunt for players, and there is no doubt that St. Lucia’s Daren Sammy will be featured in the tournament scheduled to bowl off in February 2017. Speculation is rife that the Two time World Cup winning captain is poised to captain yet another International Club T20 team! The former West Indies captain left St. Lucia for Dubai on Sunday to participate in yet another draft process.

In his cricket career Sammy has played for a number of world renowned teams. These included: Glamorgan, Hobart Hurricanes, Nottinghamshire, Royal Challengers Bangalore, The Stanford Superstars, the Sunrisers Hyderabad among others.

But, last year, Sammy had a huge impact in Pakistan with Peshawar Zalmi. The team participating in the inaugural competition lost the semi final by just one run despite Sammy’s brilliant efforts. So much so that owners of the team offered the St. Lucian Citizenship. While this never materialized, Sammy is expected to be picked by the team and asked to be captain! An official announcement is expected later.

Will that be in Pakistan, Pakistan or in Dubai?

The Taliban might have something to say about westerners setting foot in Pakistan.

Will the Pakistani citizenship interfere/conflict with his St. Lucian Ambassador duties.

Nonetheless, we're proud of you, $ammy. Walk good!
