The government of St. Lucia has decided to rename the Beausejour Cricket Ground Darren Sammy National Cricket Ground, in honor of the West Indies T20 captain following his exploits in the recently concluded World T20 in India.

Sammy, along with fellow St. Lucian Johnson Charles, returned a hero’s welcome at the Hewanorra International Airport on Tuesday where they were greeted by Prime Minister Kenny Anthony and other St. Lucians

“Big time reception, home coming,” Charles said in a video posted on Facebook on Tuesday.
