West Indies sit eighth in the WTC Standings while Pakistan are at the bottom of the standings.

Meanwhile, Sammy also reflected on the impressive debut ODI series of 19-year-old left-arm wristspinner Vitel Lawes.

The spinner, who impressed at the ICC Men’s Under-19 T20 World Cup earlier this year, was a surprise call-up for the series and was rewarded with eight wickets in five matches against New Zealand.

“I would say I’m proud of what he’s done,” Sammy said. 

“Taking a chance on a kid who’s never played [even] a game, in a region where you’re not sure how fast a player will develop. 

“And we didn’t pick Lawes just out of our heart. The processes that we followed in fast-tracking his development, a lot of people don’t see that.

“Lawes, after the series, I said, you know, I’m really proud of him to come out [with] eight wickets, looking like he belongs in the game and especially [with] us trying to develop players.

“Really proud of what he’s done in his debut series.”
