Peshawar Zalmi announces Darren Sammy as their PSL 9 head coach.

With barely one month to go before the ninth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL) begins, Peshawar Zalmi has excited supporters by announcing that former West Indies captain Darren Sammy will be the league's head coach.

Darren Sammy, a former teammate, was cordially welcomed back by Zalmi in a touching post on X (previously Twitter). In response, Sammy wrote, "Can not wait to join my Zalmi family. Eager and ready to fight for another title with my men in yellow."

The relationship that Darren Sammy has with Zalmi is quite strong because he won the team championship in 2017 while captaining them in PSL 2 and served as their head coach for a number of seasons.
