A right-hander, Ramnaresh Sarwan was born and brought up in the South America. He made his Test debut against Pakistan in 2000 and after his first Test innings, 84 not out, many pundits marked him for greater things as his uncharacteristic stroke play charmed many. In 2000 while touring England, Sarwan lived up to the billing and topped the batting charts. His footwork is very precise and upto the pitch of the ball, exhibiting no weaknesses and extra movements as such. He continued to climb up the ladder of success as he scored his maiden Test century against Bangladesh and it had been a long time due. His hard work was well rewarded when he took over as Brian Lara's vice-captain in March 2003. Since then, he has been having a fairly consistent run with the bat and in 2003-04 on the South African tour, he averaged almost 100. He was part of the West Indian team who triggered a mini revival in their ODI fortunes as they reached the finals of the NatWest Series and then won the ICC Champions Trophy with Sarwan playing an important role in both. However, he was one of the players involved in the contract dispute between with WICB and missed the first Test against South Africa in 2005. On his return, his form fell and continued to suffer a lean spell until the 2007 World Cup, after which he was handed the captaincy of the team, something long overdue. But injuries took their toll and ever since he has been playing a game of musical chairs in juggling the captaincy with good friend Chris Gayle.
