West Indies Team for England
Two days ago the West Indies squad for the tour of England was announced. The squad includes: Ramnaresh Sarwan (Captain), Dwayne Bravo, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Corey Collymore, Fidel Edwards, Daren Ganga, Christopher Gayle, Sylvester Joseph, Runako Morton, Daren Powell, Denesh Ramdin, Ravi Rampaul, Devon Smith, Darren Sammy, Jerome Taylor.
Glad to see Ganga in the squad again although it would have been hard to exclude him after being named top West Indies batsman of 2006. He was also named Vide Captain. I’m also happy to see bowler Ravi Rampaul back in after returning from injury. I was hoping that they’d give Keiron Pollard another chance, but since he failed to shine at the Cricket World Cup, his exclusion doesn’t surprise me. I wish the WICB would stop doing that thing where they throw a youngster into the mix when prospects seem dim hoping that he would be a star boy only to find out that he’s not a miracle worker whereupon they never select him again.
