Sarwan back in two weeks

GEORGETOWN: The doctor who has examined West Indies middle order batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan is suggesting that he may be able to begin practising at the end of a two-week period.

Dr Terrence Joseph’s examination revealed some deformity, with tenderness and swelling of the joint, with the player’s inability to actively extend the finger. The doctor has applied a splint, which will be maintained for two weeks, after which the condition of the finger will be further evaluated. He has suggested that Sarwan might consider batting practice at the end of the two-week period, provided he has the joint in a protective splint. The talented Sarwan sustained an injury to the left middle finger during a warm-up session with the national team last week at the Rose Hall Community Centre ground in Canje.
