FORMER West Indies captain, Darren Sammy, has accepted an invitation from the president of the Berbice Cricket Board (BCB), Hilbert Foster, to visit Berbice.
The news was disclosed by the BCB public relations officer, Simon Naidu, over the weekend. According to the BCB, Sammy, who was recently appointed as an independent director of Cricket West Indies (CWI), responded positively a few hours after the invitation was sent.
“Mr Sammy had indicated to us that he would be informing us shortly on a suitable date, when his busy schedule allows him to make the visit.”

he statement added that the main reason for the visit would be for the two-time winning T20 World Cup captain to impart his knowledge to players and clubs in the ancient county.
Sammy’s visit would not be a stand-alone, according to Naidu, since “several other visits by international players are also being worked out, as we seek to develop our younger players”.
