CASTRIES, St Lucia (CMC) — The Australian duo of Mike Hussey and Shane Watson have congratulated St Lucia Zouks teammate Darren Sammy, following the St Lucia government’s decision to rename the Beausejour Cricket Ground in his honour.

Watson, who retired from international cricket following the recent Twenty20 World Cup in India, hailed Sammy as a “great leader” and said he was looking forward to playing alongside him at the Zouks’ home ground in Gros Islet.

“I knew when I first signed up for CPL how passionate the West Indies public are, but to receive this news about the St Lucia government’s decision to rename the national stadium in honour of one of their favourite sporting sons is a huge thing, especially for someone so young who has so much top-level cricket ahead of him,” Watson said.

“Darren is a great leader and a true champion in all regards, and I know how passionate he is about the Zouks. He deserves this accolade for the manner he has led the West Indies team and this is an honour for all time.

Same like how Bravo sucks up to IPL bosses and his IPL cappo

Only a few days ago Bravo said Dhoni is the greatest cappo he ever played under...and he will miss him

In reply to Narper

I don't disagree Dhoni is a boss skipper

Indeed a great leader of men. Has set the right precedent for other St Lucian cricketers to follow. He deserves the accolade.

I tell my son to emulate Sammy's attitude.
