CASTRIES, ST LUCIA – West Indies Test and Twenty20 captain, Darren Sammy, has etched name into the history books, but it’s not with the bat or with the ball this time.
Sammy was unveiled as a brand ambassador for German automobile giant, BMW. In doing so, Sammy became the first West Indian sports personality to be given the honour.
