"World cricket should be internationalized as much as possible," said Sami. "This is the development and expansion of the game of cricket."
Talking to the media at the Wankhede Stadium ahead of the Twenty20 World Cup 2026 match against England in Group 'C', Sammy said, 'World cricket should be internationalized more and more. This is the development and expansion of the game of cricket.'
Nepal is also in Group C and Nepal's third match is against the West Indies. The West Indies is the first country that Nepal has faced in a bilateral series in Twenty20 cricket. Nepal won the three-Test series against the West Indies 2-1. Sammy was the captain of the West Indies team when the West Indies won the Twenty20 World Cup in 2012 and 2016.
Sammy further said, 'Not only the West Indies and Nepal, but also the series between England and Nepal, Australia and Nepal are necessary. "This is what a Test-accredited team should do, we must contribute to the development of cricket in associate countries, we must play the role we can," he concluded, "We must support not only Nepal in world cricket, but also emerging countries."
