http://www.senore.com/Cricket/RR-Sarwan-c2371 included in West Indies ODI squad – Cricket News Update
West Indies has drafted middle-order batsman, Ramnaresh Sarwan, in the 15-man ODI squad for their upcoming tour of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746, bringing an end to the player’s 18-month exile from the national team setup.
Sarwan publically criticised the WICB and especially current coach, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ottis-Delroy-Gibson-c80358, for negative treatment, which had a direct affect on his performances.
"The coach said some negative stuff that hurt me mentally and emotionally," Sarwan told BBC Sport in May last year. "Mentally I was broken down, not from the stress of playing, it's just certain individuals have drained me mentally. It took a toll on my
confidence and the way I play. Everything went away. "
Gibson dismissed Sarwan’s claims in an interview with Trinidad Express. "Never once in my three years here have I had an issue with Sarwan. I was very disappointed to hear the stuff that Sarwan said because I don't know where there was an issue."
The player then subsequently filed an appeal with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 Players’ Association (WIPA), and after a thorough review into the case, he was rewarded $161,000 in damages in September last year.
Period outside the national team allowed him to focus on his batting as he signed for http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Leicestershire-c807 in the English domestic circuit. The union remained productive as Sarwan notched up 294 ODI and 941 first-class runs at 36.75 and 40.91 respectively.
As for the rest of the combination, the major omission comes in the shape of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Marlon-Nathaniel-Samuels-c74804 after the inform player suffered a facial injury during the ongoing Big Bash League. He has been replaced by all-rounder, Narsingh Deonarine, who makes a return to
the ODI side for the first time since June 2010.
The team will be led by Darren Sammy, and further welcomes back vice-captain, Dwayne Bravo, who has not played for the national team since picking up an injury in October last year.
The tour includes five limited-overs games, along with a solitary Twenty International. The tourists will begin their preparation with a warm-up match on January 29.
