Ramnaresh Sarwan is returning as Lead Selector for Senior Cricket in Guyana
Ramnaresh Sarwan has replaced the Chairman of the Senior Selection Committee of the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB), Ravindranauth Seeram, the Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) has announced.
Sarwan had earlier signalled to the GCB his intention to again serve in cricket administration. Seeram has consequently been reassigned to the Cricket Development Unit of the GCB. This decision was made at the GCB’s Executive Meeting held on Saturday, February 18, 2023.
During his previous tenure as Chairman of the Senior Selection Committee of the GCB, Ramnaresh Sarwan had relinquished his role as he had been promoted to the Senior Selection Panel of Cricket West Indies. Sarwan was appointed to the Regional Selection Committee in January 2022, but later stepped away from the post in May of the same year.
Sarwan brings to the position a wealth of experience gained from having amassed 5,842 runs in 87 Test matches at an average of 40.01, and a highest score of 291. In ODIs Sarwan had surpassed the 5000-run mark by scoring 5804 runs at an average of 42.67 and a highest score of 120 not out. These statistics, along with his first-class record of 13,405 runs at an average of 38.52 and his stint as national captain and West Indies captain, are clearly exceptional.
The GCB has said it expects Sarwan would continue to build on the positive steps taken during his last tenure as Chairman of the Senior Selection Committee of the GCB.
