Manohar wants Lara, Logie at WI helm

Member of Parliament for Chaguanas and former Minister of Sport Manohar Ramsaran has suggested Brian Lara lead the West Indies cricket team.

He made the suggestion ahead of the First Test against recently crowned World Cup champions Australia in Georgetown, Guyana from April 10-14. Stating that Lara has “matured tremendously” Ramsaran said: “He is one of the best batsmen in the world and can be a positive leader.” Ramsaran wants to see stylish Guyanese batsman Ramnarace Sarwan appointed Lara’s deputy and former Trinidad and Tobago batsman and Test standout Gus Logie as coach. Logie, he states, has shown the ability to improve the quality of the teams he has coached in the past. The former minister is confident of his choices and states he has made them with the future of the West Indies team in mind.
