5 CPL players who should be playing Test cricket for West Indies

Ramnaresh Sarwan

One of the issues with the current West Indies side is the lack of experience in the middle-order. Ever since Shivnarine Chanderpaul stopped playing Tests, the middle-order has been without a batsman who knows what it takes to either grind it out or play according to the situation.

So it is certainly surprising then that Ramnaresh Sarwan, a 87-test veteran isn't playing the longest format of the game for his country. With nearly 6,000 Test runs and an average in excess of 40, it isn't because of his record, that's for sure. The fact that he recently won a case against West Indies Cricket Board for comments made about his fitness certainly doesn't help his case for a comeback but his numbers certainly do.

Despite not playing a Test for West Indies since 2011, there can be little doubt about Sarwan's qualities and ability to adapt to Tests. After all, it is not like WI have plenty of options, let alone players with experience who can plug the gap like Sarwan can.
