GEORGETOWN – West Indies batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan shrugged off his omission from the West Indies Twenty20 squad to stroke an unbeaten double century for Georgetown Cricket Club in the Division 1 championship on Saturday.
The right-hander, one of several changes to the senior squad to face the touring Pakistanis later this month, hit 203 to propel GCC to 359 for four in reply to Transport Sports Club’s 95 at Bourda.
Sarwan, who had a subpar World Cup campaign, hammered 16 fours and nine sixes as he posted 284 for the fourth wicket with Guyana left-hander Vishaul Singh who carved out 121.
Robin Bacchus, Ricardo Jadunauth and Leon Johnson all fell cheaply before Sarwan and Singh took the game away from the visitors on a flat track.
He emerged from a cautious start to march to his second consecutive Division One century, reaching the landmark with his 11th boundary. (CMC)
