Right-handed middle-order batsman and part-time leg spin bowler Faf noted “I am super excited, privileged and honored to captain the side. Coming in as an outsider, I have the local legend Daren Sammy to show me the ropes.”
Head Coach Andy Flower expressed “It’s a hugh bonus to have Faf to captain for us. He is a good strong option after the loss of Daren Sammy.” He went on to express “I have been watching Fafs career with interest and seeing how flexible he is as a player, to being a dynamic T20 player.”
Daren Sammy weighed in sending a message to Faf “Bring your experience and amazing personality. We all know how great of a leader you are. Good Luck and over to you sir! Enjoy Captain Saint Lucia cause I did.”
