With barely one month to go until the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) begins, Peshawar Zalmi has excited supporters by announcing that former West Indies captain Darren Sammy will be the league’s head coach.
Darren Sammy, a former teammate, was cordially welcomed back by Zalmi in a poignant message on X (previously Twitter). Sammy replied to Zalmi’s post with the words, “I can’t wait to join my Zalmi family.” I was eager and prepared to battle alongside my troops in yellow for another crown.
Zalmi and Darren Sammy have a strong relationship because Zalmi captained the squad for several seasons. In addition to serving as the team’s head coach in the past, he led the group to victory in PSL 2 in 2017.
In addition to leading Peshawar Zalmi, Darren Sammy was a fantastic batsman who helped the side win past seasons by making important runs.
As one of the best teams in the PSL, Peshawar Zalmi took home the championship in 2017 and finished third three times in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
The next PSL 9 is slated to begin on February 17 and go until March 18. On February 18, Peshawar Zalmi will take on the Quetta Gladiators in Lahore.
