His appointment is testament to our commitment to strengthen CWI’s governance, and to utilise expertise from across all stakeholder groups.” “Darren’s fairly recent experience as a two-time World Cup winning captain will bring with him a much-needed modern-day cricketer’s perspective which should add valuable insights to Board discussions and decision-making. It is expected that Mr Sammy’s appointment will add a fresh and more youthful perspective, as well as a high level of updated cricket know-how to enhance the existing expertise in the CWI boardroom.Ĭommenting on Sammy’s addition to the Board, CWI president Ricky Skerritt said, “I am delighted to welcome Darren Sammy as an independent, non-member Director whose role will be to ensure that all the right questions are being asked while contributing to the shaping of new ideas and solutions. Sammy’s appointment to the CWI Board of Directors is in keeping with two of the fundamental principles which have guided CWI’s improvement strategy for the past two years – increased utilisation of regional technical expertise and the implementation of a Cricket First Policy. He is also the current head coach of Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League (PSL) and a Cricket Consultant for the St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). Sammy is an awardee of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II, and a Goodwill Ambassador for St Lucia.
He has captained the Windward Islands cricket team in addition to several domestic T20 leagues both regionally and internationally. Darren is the first international cricketer from his native St Lucia where the national stadium has been named in his honour. With over 14 years of international cricket experience, Sammy is celebrated by many in the region, and across the world, as a charismatic and inspirational figure, renowned for leading the West Indies to back-to-back ICC T20 World Cup titles in 20.
