Axed West Indies middle order batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan told Stabroek Sport yesterday that he has been getting mixed signals about his non-selection for the tour to Sri Lanka next month and this has prompted him to focus his energies on assisting the development of Guyana’s cricket.
He pointed out that ever since he learnt of the senior selectors’ decision not to include him in the team for Sri Lanka, no concrete explanation has been given to him.
“One time it is my attitude, the next time is my fitness. I am getting mixed signals. I have been working on my fitness so I don’t know what they (selectors) are using, and I have always been committed to West Indies and Guyana’s cricket,” Sarwan emphasised.
Sarwan reflected on his work with the national and Demerara teams and indicated that he has been working hard and many persons can attest to this. “You have to be fit to play 20/20 cricket,” adding that he has been working to improve his fitness after his injury during the South Africa tour to the Caribbean earlier this year.
“My goal at this time is to commit myself to cricket in Guyana. There is the four-day competition and other competitions in Guyana and I will be meeting with members of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) to discuss strategies on the way forward for cricket in Guyana,” the stylish right hander explained.
