Darren Sammy to be honored with Pakistan Citizenship on March 23

The Pakistan government would confer honorary citizenship on former West Indian captain Darren Sammy for his role in bringing international cricket back to the country, the PCB announced on Saturday.

He will also be presented with Pakistan’s highest civilian award, Nishan-e-Haider, on March 23 by President Arif Alvi.

Sammy has played a vital role when it comes to cricket in Pakistan. When nobody was willing to travel to the country, he agreed to come to Pakistan for the PSL final in Lahore.

Sammy, who is presently leading Peshawar Zalmi in the fifth Pakistan Super League season, has helped out the team to win the titles as well.

Javed Afridi, the owner of Peshawar Zalmi, said that they had requested the Pakistan President to grant honorary citizenship to Sammy because of his services to Pakistan cricket.
Sammy would be the third international cricketer to get honorary citizenship of a country as before him Australian Matthew Hayden and South Africa’s Herschelle Gibbs were given honorary citizenships by the St Kitts government after the 2007 World Cup.
