Another West Indian to have a stadium named in his honour
Sammy smiles, jumps around and laughs on his way to leading the Windies to notable triumphs. Through many special cricketing achievements of captain Sammy, the West Indies have once again occupied huge limelight in sporting headlines around the world.
An inspirational captain and a hefty all-rounder, Sammy has risen tremendously in popularity back in the Caribbean.
And therefore, in lines with his recent T20 triumphs, the government and authorities at his native St. Lucia have decided to rename the Beausejour Cricket Ground as the Darren Sammy National Cricket stadium. The recent honour in the name of Sammy was announced by Prime Minister Kenny D. Anthony.
Located in the outskirts of the beautiful resort area of Rodney Bay, the former Beausjour stadium has held international cricket matches since 2002.
