A video posted by Caribbean Premier League, premier Twenty20 tournament of West Indies on their official Twitter account, CPL T20 shows the best use of the third umpire. It shows the two-time T20 World Cup winning captain Darren Sammy play cricket with kids during a rain break in the tournament. If it was not enough for children to have an international cricket superstar participate in their game, the third umpire also got involved to make the kids' cricket super entertaining.

The style of cricket in the Caribbean is famous all over the world. It is much more than just the on-field action. There is something magical about playing in West Indies with an electrifying atmosphere filled with music and smiling crowd. Caribbean Premier League is an exciting event bringing more joy to cricket lovers. This video is a proof of the country’s immense love for game and players and vice-versa.

“We do rain delays differently at the Biggest Party In Sport!!!#Cricketplayedlouder #CPL18,” reads the caption on Twitter. The clip shows Sammy who plays for CPL team St. Lucia Stars enjoying rain break with children on the sidelines. It was sweet of the West Indian all-rounder to spend some time with his enthusiastic fans.

The 34-year-old was seen bowling to boys and one of them tried to steal a cheeky single, Sammy attempted to get run out. It was here when the star player turned up to the third umpire to intervene and give a decision. Much to the pleasant surprise of everyone in the crowd and commentary box, the umpire gave his verdict on the giant screen. Sammy and the kiddos were seen sharing smiles and having a gala time. Such is the power of cricket.

Dates for the sixth edition of Caribbean Premier League, CPLT20 2018 has been finalized. It will be held from August 8 to September 16 as there are no international fixtures scheduled for West Indies during that window, which mean the tournament will see the presence of superstar players. Along with defending champions, Trinbago Knight Riders, there are six franchises in total taking part in CPL 2018. The first round of matches will take place Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana.
