Peshawar Zalmi’s Head Coach Daren Sammy and all-rounder Ravi Bopara have arrived in Karachi ahead of the HBL Pakistan Super League (PSL) season six.

The duo have been a regular feature in the PSL, over the past five years, and are excited to be part of the event once again.  

“It’s good to be back here for PSL 6, even though I won’t be playing, and I’m so excited to be the head coach of Peshawar Zalmi,” said Sammy upon arrival in Karachi. “We will try to entertain you guys as usual.”

Meanwhile Bopara said: “It’s great to be here. I’m familiar with Pakistan after playing the PSL for the last few years. This time I’m with Peshawar Zalmi so I’m looking forward to meeting my new teammates and coaches. Hopefully we can go and have a lot of fun and win the trophy.”
