CPL 2021: What did Saint Lucia Kings mentor Darren Sammy say ahead of the match? 

Saint Lucia Kings mentor Darren Sammy talked about the role of Andre Fletcher and what will it mean to him to win the title with Sant Lucia.

“I just told them… TKR know this position (in the semi-final), You control your mind and don’t lose it. Stay in contention. Fletcher has been going an excellent job, didn’t know he was going to captain. Winning one (title) for Saint Lucia was always up there for me. This will mean a lot to me and for Saint Lucia, especially in the pandemic times. People can take their minds off from the Covid situation and have something to cheer about. This is going to be an exciting game.”
