Hello
Andre Coley will be in charge of the Test side.
Sammy caused a stir when he made an allegation of racism against his former Sunrisers Hyderabad teammates over a Hindi nickname he was given when he was part of the Indian Premier League franchise from 2013-14.
Earlier this month, former West Indies captains Darren Sammy and Chris Gayle said they have experienced racist abuse and threw their weight behind the Black Lives Matters campaign.
The former West Indies captain said he has accepted an ex-teammate's explanation of a potentially racist nickname he was given at Sunrisers Hyderabad.
The former West Indies captain's Keralite neighbour writes about Sammy in the wake of the racism row.
Sammy had expressed anger upon realising the meaning of the word 'kaalu' which he says was used to refer to him and Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera when the pair played for SRH in the Indian Premier League.
The former West Indies captain said he and Sri Lanka's Thisara Perera were referred to as 'kaalu' when the pair played for Indian Premier League side Sunrisers Hyderabad.
Pakistan successfully hosted two tests against Sri Lanka in December - their first at home since a militant attack on Sri Lanka's team bus in Lahore in 2009 that killed six security personnel and two civilians and wounded six players.
The PCB media department tweeted that citizenship will be conferred on Sammy for his 'invaluable contribution to cricket in Pakistan'.
