West Indie's two-time T20 World Cup-winning captain (2012 and 2016) Daren Sammy believes it's almost impossible to build a West Indies team as great as the one that dominated world cricket in the 1970s and 1980s. Sammy, who has scored 3,781 runs and claimed 209 wickets at international level, is currently preparing to lead the St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL). He spoke to mid-day about West Indies cricket and the recently postponed T20 World Cup among other things on the eve of his team's CPL clash with Jamaica Tallawahs in Trinidad today.
