lambasting the West Indies board post victory in last year’s World T20 final which effectively became his last international match till date. Two-time World T20 winning captain, Sammy is busy playing T20 Leagues all around the world but still cares about West Indies cricket. He also remains available for selection in limited overs format but has passed the stage where he would sulk over being ignored again
It is sad that my last international was the World T20 final. I am still available for selection in limited overs cricket but I am not going to cry over non-selection,” Sammy, who is part of Kings XI Punjab in this IPL, told PTI. “I am still out there playing in the different leagues around the world, if selected I am available. But I am not crying over spilt milk.
People were wondering whether we would play this tournament. We had a lot of issues, we felt disrespected by our board … I am yet to hear from them. That is very disappointing,” Sammy had said during the live broadcast. His outburst expectedly did not go down well with the West Indies board, which reprimanded him along with the likes of Dwayne Bravo. Looking back, the affable all-rounder from St. Lucia has no regrets.
I regret to say that the World T20 final was my last international match. Sammy, who is playing for Kings XI Punjab in the IPL, said PTI, “I am not going to cry over not being selected but I am still available for selection in limited overs cricket.” “I am still competing in many leagues across the globe; I am accessible if called upon. I’m not crying over spilled milk, though.
The 33-year-old has experience playing in the IPL for both Sunrisers Hyderabad and Royal Challengers Bangalore. Sammy is enjoying the environment within the group that Virender Sehwag is mentoring. Each club has a unique strategy to offer. We all know that Sehwag was a laid-back guy in the Indian locker room, while Glenn Maxwell is our combative captain,” Sammy remarked. I am able to adapt to it even if it is different. I’ve performed enough live to accomplish that. Ultimately, what counts most is the game of cricket you play on the pitch.
