This tweet causing some rumours, especially in light of Sammy being 'rested' in game against KK last night.

Shoaib Akhtar on TV show also seems to hint that there is some problem and has mentioned Shahid Afridi's treatment at Zalmi as the reason also.

Hope for PZ, they resolve this quick - if there is a problem.

Shoaib is likely as in the dark as an average fan. He would shoot from the hip just to stir some buzz, stay relevant or even get more views on his social media platforms. I wouldn't take what he has to say serious at all.

On topic - Sammy needs to understand that the team's cause comes first. I think he has started to feel entitled, which tbh is hard not to given how he has been treated at the PSL, where he thinks he probably warrants a spot in the team regardless of his performance.

PZ were right to drop him. It's nothing personal.

If Sammy reads PP, let him know that whatever I said or did over the last few days is only for the betterment of the franchise he pretends to care about.

Carlos Braithwaite didn't exactly set the world alight

Noones undroppable though
And kamran Akmal needs to sit out a few games too

Use by date is nearing its end, they need to make him a mascot or coach, otherwise he is going to be given games just for the sake of it, which was ok in season 1 or 2 but now as the league matures we need to attract better players.

To be honest - seems very contrived but lets see what happens.

 

[Bewal Express]

There is no such thing as non playing captain. He either performs or he doesnt.

it may be contrived but it was needed. Well played Sammy

 

[minamino]

With him in the playing XI, Peshawar plays with 10 players. Brathwaite is much better than him and Pollard is going to replace him.

 

[HappyWarsFan]

Why would they keep a 45 year old who runs like an elephant in the team?

Are you referring to Kamran Akmal?

 

[Savak]

Lol unless your Fawad Rana, there is no room for emotions in a competitive T-20 Franchise League environment

 

[Local.Dada]

Darren Sammy is a good guy and did really well as captain of WI with all their issues but that’s about it. Not sure why he is being raised to the moon by PSL in general. He is a mediocre cricketer as average as they come. It would be different if we were talking about say someone like ABDV but Sammy really?

 

[Hasan123]

If his tweet is referring to being dropped, he deserved to be dropped so shouldn't be complaining.

Darren Sammy is 36. Unless you are talking about someone else

For those of us familiar with Black culture, it's not contrived at all. Sammy is being authentic.

Remarkable that the PM agreed to be photographed with Phateechar players

 

[Saj]

They can post as many smiling pictures as they want, but it's clear as day that there are issues at Zalmi.

Sammy wants to play, but Zalmi are trying to ease him out of the starting eleven which is leading to friction.

Poor planning on Zalmi's part to still have Sammy as skipper, as he is clearly struggling for fitness and form.

 

[NauV]

Amla is phateechar?

 

[Mamoon]

Zalmi gave excessive prominence and importance to Sammy which had led to a false sense of entitlement. Even the CPL no longer deems him good enough.

Zalmi needs to spend less money on actresses and making perfumes and focus more on investing properly in a rapidly declining squad.

 

[Saj]

Zalmi's loyalty is second to none at the PSL, but that loyalty may cost them in the long run.

They need to get rid of the likes of Sammy as a player. I'm sure they could give him a role of mentor which other teams are doing to former players, and which I think is a total waste of money. But if these owners want to throw away money, then so be it.

 

[The cricket enthusiast]

"Peshawar zalmi not Happy with Sammy "
here .. thank me later

It’s their money so I’m sure they spend it after much thought

 

[sweep_shot]

Sammy is a finished man. He should retire and become a coach.

 

[QalandarFan]

Man I just seen that Sammy has a highest score in T20s of 48. Holy guy has never even scored a 50 in T20's doesn't bowl anymore, is a liability in the field and doesn't seem like he can even score those quick fire 20s or 30s anymore needs to retire. He's been a great ambassador but when it's time it's time.

 

[MenInG]

Sammy doing some PR work for PZ

 

[IAJ]

Do you enjoy controversies?

 

[MenInG]

Do you enjoy controversies?

Should ask Sammy that as he's the one who tweeted that in the first place!

Look I am very curious to know what was behind that first tweet.

 

[aukhan]

Its obvious Sammy is not happy sitting at the bench. Zalmi looks very non threatening this season.

 

[aukhan]

Just hearing rumors that he has stepped down from Captaincy and will be the new Head coach of Zalmi?
