5 wicketkeepers who turned out to be good fielders

AB de Villiers has often proved to be a live wire on the field.

.#5 Andre Fletcher

Andre Fletcher has a great vision for the ball and often positions himself in the right areas on the field.

West Indies cricket has the knack of producing some extraordinary fielders. The likes of Kieron Pollard, Dwayne Bravo and Lendl Simmons have often proved to be electric on the field. Following them closely on the list is youngster Andre Fletcher.

The explosive right-hand batsman made his international debut in 2008, however, it was in the World T20 in England in 2009 that he caught everyone's eye. The opening batsman came into the squad as a back-up wicketkeeper for Dinesh Ramdin but never really got an opportunity to don the wicketkeeping gloves. He has played as a wicketkeeper in only 6 of his 25 International ODIs. However, Fletcher has not let the team down whenever he has been asked to protect the outfield.

The big West Indian has a good throwing arm and has often been involved in some terrific run-outs. He may not be as athletic as his counterparts, but the right-hander makes it up with his vision for the ball and safe hands. The 28-year old juggles between his roles even when he plays for the St. Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League.
