West Indies captain Darren Sammy has said that most players around the world look forward to play in the cash-rich Indian Premier League and their primary goal is to entertain fans.

The exuberant cricketer from St. Lucia, known for his lively on-field celebrations, is a part of the IPL franchise Sunrisers Hyderabad.

"It is a great feeling to be playing IPL as it as an amazing tournament. Most players around the world look forward to be part of it. It's being held for the first time in the UAE and I am told tickets are selling like crazy. As players, our role is to come and entertain the fans who come out to watch us," Sammy told the Gulf News on Sunday.

Sammy said he has got over the disappointment of not being able to defend the World T20 title in the recently concluded ICC World Twenty20 in Bangladesh. The West Indies crashed out of the tournament after a defeat against Sri Lanka in the rain-marred semifinal.

"I've got over it (the disappointment of World T20). When we left home for Bangladesh, we wanted to defend our title but we could not control the weather.
"From the semi-final, god was smiling on Mahela (Jayawardene) and (Kumar) Sangakkara. Though I won't say my prediction came true, it was nice to see Sri Lanka win the tournament. It was disappointing we were not in the final but ultimately cricket was the winner," he said.

LMAO is he still clinging on to the "weather" excuse? That's a load of crap. SL deserved to win there, and WI was lagging well behind. Of course miracle apart, nothing could've saved WI there.

Never really.It is marred by many distractions off and on the field.The excitement that was there in the first season isn't to be found now,it probably has died down.IPL needs to go a notch higher to catch viewers eyes again..:P

SerenaThis batting performance by the West Indies in the second innings blew me away. I kept closing my eyes and then rubbing and opening them again and sat transfixed as I watch that unbelievable partnership between John Campbell and Shai Hope. What a magnificent performance by these two! It just goes to show that patience, determination and effort can go a long way to improve the performances of the West Indies team. Let us hope that this effort by West Indies batsmen would not be a one-off performance, but will be the beginning of a renewed effort to improve the performances of the team, going forward.(13.10.2025, 09:28)(09:28)0

WarrenJameis Winston is asked about being named QB3 on the Giants' roster behind Russell Wilson and Jaxson Dart:

"As a competitor, you want to be the starter. But I prepare to be the starter, I know I'm a starter in this league.

But you have to be able to be grateful for your role...my role right now is to assist Russ and Jaxson to be the best that they can be while preparing to be the best that I can be.

No matter if I'm 3, 33, this is my first year being number 19, so it's always a first for everything.

I focus on what I would love. And what I would love is for this team to have success."

ChristinaIt is time for a full evaluation and accountability to the people of this region for the disastrous batting performance of the West Indies Cricket Team. We cannot disregard what all of us witnessed and endured in the last three test matches.
