Deyal thanks Zouks,Sammy for believing in him

All Mark Deyal wanted was a chance. A chance to shoulder some responsibility, a chance for someone to believe in him, a chance to show his worth and display the three-dimensional qualities he possesses as a consistently improving cricketer.

At the 2020 Caribbean Premier League (CPL) T20 tournament, St Lucia Zouks captain Darren Sammy and coach Andy Flower provided the 27-year- old all-rounder with his long-awaited opportunity – one which he seized.

Having made his CPL debut with Red Steel, as an Under-23 player, in 2015 and then selected to Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in 2019, Deyal played a minor role representing the TT franchise.

Deyal was not giving an oppertunity to bowled in the final.

Maybe he would have been a difference maker.

In reply to sgtdjones Sammy and The REVO may have saved this young man's career. Sammy should have given him the ball vs Bravo.

According to Deyal, Sammy’s role at the helm of the squad was pivotal in getting them through the tournament. The St Lucian is the only captain to have won the World T20 on two occasions. His experience served as the driving force which propelled St Lucia Zouks to a still-deserving runner-up spot.

“His leadership was commendable. As a captain, when your team is not performing, it can hamper you as an individual with your leadership. What speaks volumes about Darren is that he didn’t let that affect his judgment and captaincy. He was under a lot of pressure but when he stepped out on the field, he showed everyone how good of a captain he is. Darren is a very influential captain who generates team spirit, unity and selflessness,” said Deyal.


Look forward to seeing more of him. Hurricanes should sign him for the Super50.
