Darren Sammy’s bond with Zalmi is deeply fixed, as he led the team as captain for many seasons. He won the title for the team when he was leading the side in PSL 2 in 2017 and also previously contributed as their head coach.
Darren Sammy not only led Peshawar Zalmi but also played exceptionally well with the bat, scoring crucial runs for the team in the previous seasons.
Peshawar Zalmi is considered one of the top teams in the PSL, winning the title in 2017 and being the runner-up three times in 2018, 2019, and 2021.
The upcoming PSL 9 is scheduled to start on February 17th and end on March 18th. Peshawar Zalmi will begin their campaign on February 18th against Quetta Gladiators in Lahore.
