PORT OF SPAIN – Three former West Indies wicketkeepers, Jeffrey Dujon, Deryck Murray and Jackie Hendriks, have questioned the decision by selectors not to include Denesh Ramdin for the upcoming four-match Test series against India.
Dujon, who represented West Indies between 1981 and 1991, says Ramdin’s experience will be needed against India despite an unimpressive batting average.
“While I can vaguely understand the explanations by selectors regarding his average, especially when comparing it to other keepers around the world, but in the current context of the West Indies team, his exclusion, at this time, doesn’t make sense,” Dujon told Cricbuzz.
“Considering how experienced an opposition India is, his experience and his value as a good player versus spin are still key,” noted Dujon. (CMC/EZS)
