    "editor1": "<p>Former West Indies skipper, Daren Sammy has become a member of the Cricket West Indies (CWI) Board of Directors, following his appointment as an independent non-member director by the CWI Board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>With over 14 years of international cricket experience, Sammy led the West Indies to back-to-back ICC T20 World Cup titles in 2012 and 2016.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The 37-year-old is the first international cricketer from his native Saint Lucia where the national stadium has been named in his honour.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Sammy is an awardee of the Order of the British Empire (OBE) by Queen Elizabeth II, and a Goodwill Ambassador for St. Lucia. He is also the current head coach of Peshawar Zalmi in the Pakistan Super League and a Cricket Consultant for the St. Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL).<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;Sammy&#39;s appointment to the CWI Board of Directors is in keeping with two of the fundamental principles which have guided CWI&#39;s improvement strategy for the past two years -- increased utilisation of regional technical expertise and the implementation of a Cricket First Policy. It is expected that Mr. Sammy&#39;s appointment will add a fresh and more youthful perspective, as well as a high level of updated cricket know-how to enhance the existing expertise in the CWI Board room,&quot; said a CWI statement on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>&quot;It is an honour to be appointed as a CWI director; this is another great opportunity for me to give my best to West Indies cricket in a new way, off the field. All my local, regional and international experiences have prepared me to make a significant ongoing impact in West Indies cricket. I am excited and thankful for the chance to serve and look forward to giving back to the sport and region that I love so much,&quot; said Sammy.<\/p>\r\n",
