Sammy to captain St. Lucia Zouks


CASTRIES, St Lucia – Daren Sammy will return as skipper of the St. Lucia Zouks for the Caribbean Premier League (CPL) 2020 season, the franchise announced on Tuesday, even amid uncertainty over whether the popular T20 tournament will come off as planned.

Sammy, who has just finished a coaching stint in Pakistan, will be back in his playing shirt with his home franchise which he has appeared for since the CPL’s inception in 2013.

The eighth edition of the tournament is scheduled to take place August 19 to September 26, but organisers are keeping an eye on the COVID-19 pandemic and liaising with medical advisors and governments to determine if play will go ahead.

But in anticipation that it will, Zouks have chosen Sammy to lead the franchise.

“The franchise is dear to my heart and this year I am honored to lead the franchise one more time,” he said.
