Windies cricketer Darren Sammy is loved all around the world by his fans and has a special connection with Pakistan. He loves going to the country and was among the first few cricketers to agree to travel last year when the final of PSL was decided to be played in Lahore. Pakistan Super League (PSL) has brought him more close to his fans and always tries to stay in touch with them through social media. However, he posted a message on Wednesday in the Pashto language which all his fans loved and the replies poured in for the cricketer.

Pashto is the South-Central Asian language of the Pashtuns and is the second largest regional language in Pakistan. Sammy is the most loved overseas cricketer in the country since the inaugural edition of PSL. He plays for Peshawar Zalmi franchise in the tournament and is the vital cog of the line-up since then. His passion for the game and the way he entertains the crowd has made him the most followed cricketer in the country and also speaks in their local language Pashto frequently to have a conversation with his fans.

Sammy asks his fans about PSL 3

Darren Sammy, who has led Windies to World T20 title twice also led Zalmis to the title triumph in the last season. His message in Pashto read, “Greetings Zalmis, i hope you all will be at best of your health. How are your thoughts about psl 3?” He asked them their thoughts about the PSL3 which is all set to get underway in February-March in 2018.

His followers in Pakistan, however, were excited to see his message on Twitter and replied him in excitement. While some of them invited him to visit Peshawar, few demanded a Pakistani nationality for the Caribbean cricketer. He was given the nickname by Zalmi fans as Shinwari & Khan (Pashtoon tribes) when he won them a group game in Sharjah by defending only 13 runs against Karachi Kings in the first edition.

All this love suggests only one thing and that his Pakistan fans are once again waiting for their hero to visit their country during PSL next year.
