Globetrotter Sammy doesn’t regret 2016 outburst
Darren Sammy says he doesn’t regret publicly lambasting the West Indies board post the World T20 final in 2016 which effectively became his last international match.
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 and 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.
“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.”
Sammy had made an emotional speech before accepting the winners’ trophy at the Eden Gardens, the venue for the World T20 final.
His outburst expectedly did not go down well with the West Indies board, which reprimanded him along with the likes of Dwayne Bravo. But Sammy doesn’t regret speaking his mind.
“What I said on the podium after winning the final, I said it from my heart. I said what I had to. I expected things to happen. But I don’t lose sleep over it anymore.
“God has blessed me tremendously. He is my selector. So I am not worried about what is going to happen.
“I still do care about West Indies cricket but if I am not selected I am not going to sulk over it,” he said.
