5 West Indies legends who need the CPL to come back

2017 HERO Caribbean Premier League - Barbados Tridents v Jamaica Tallawahs
Lendl Simmons must fire in this CPL to keep his international career alive

#1. Darren Sammy

ICC World Twenty20 India 2016: Final - England v West Indies
Sammy won two world cups but at the moment is sidelined from the team

Darren Sammy has won two T20 world-cups and has a cricket stadium named after him. He is by a fair margin the most successful T20 captain. But at the moment he is not even a part of West Indies' T20 squad.

The 33-year-old West Indies is an effective all-rounder but so far hasn't made any significant impact in this format with bat or ball. His major contribution during his playing days was his leadership skills. He featured in 66 T20 international innings but has faced only 7.2 balls per inning and has picked up 44 wickets at a strike rate of 20.

In this year's CPL, Sammy is captaining the St. Lucia Stars team who has a strong squad with a fine balance of local talent and overseas firepower. Hence, an inspired performance by the Stars in this edition's CPL could well pave the way for Sammy's comeback in the national team.
