West Indies all-rounder Darren Sammy has rubbished reports that there is a rift between him and Peshawar Zalmi owner Javed Afridi.
Speculation arose after Sammy, who captains the Zalmi, missed the team’s Pakistan Super League (PSL) clash against the Karachi Kings in Rawalpindi and tweeted: “I’ve learnt that you are important until you’ve completed your role.”

Wahab Riaz captained the Zalmi against the Kings and said at the toss that Sammy had been rested.
