5 current wicket-keepers who are in the traditional mould

#3 Denesh Ramdin

Denesh Ramdin has kept wickets for West Indies in all three formats

Even though he has not been part of the West Indies Test team in recent months, Denesh Ramdin is yet another wicket-keeper from the present generation who is in the traditional mould. While he is adept with his work behind the stumps, Ramdin also adds value as a lower order batsman.

The Trinidadian cricketer has played 74 Tests for a tally of nearly 3000 runs at a decent average of 25.87 with 4 centuries. He generally comes in to bat at numbers 6 or 7 in the order and possesses the ability to stick it around in the middle thereby proving to be an ideal foil to the top order batsmen.

Denesh Ramdin has easily been one of his country’s best wicket-keepers and has more than 200 Test dismissals in his kitty so far. It may not be long before he finds his way back into the West Indian Test side as a specialist wicket-keeper.
