Darren Sammy appointed head coach of Peshawar Zalmi

The Windies World Cup winning captain also brings with him the experience of coaching St. Lucia Kings in CPL 2022, where they reached the playoffs.

PSL 2023 will be played from February 9 to March 19 with the inaugural Women's T20 League matches set to be played alongside at Rawalpindi.
