He has been the one of the important assets for the revival of cricket in Pakistan as he has been the first to reach for the fifth edition of Pakistan Super League as well as his keen love for Pakistan is enhanced in his social media posts.
Recently, Sammy has been handed over with Pakistan’s citizenship as well for his immense love with the country. However, it would have been sad for the fans to listen about the news that Sammy will no more be seen on the screen as a player but, will stay limited for the coaching.
