The two-time World Cup-winning captain for West Indies, who is also part of the Peshawar Zalmi franchise of the Pakistan Super League (PSL), received the award on Monday and shared photographs of the ceremony on his official Twitter account.

“There it is me collecting the Sitara-I-Pakistan award. Such a proud moment,” he tweeted.
