Sarwan reminded he’s in charge

BRIDGETOWN: West Indies vice-captain Ramnaresh Sar-wan, who briefly took charge of the team when Brian Lara fell ill on Saturday, said that his team-mates had to remind him to set the field. “My only experience was captaining the Guyana Under-19 team,” said Sarwan on Sunday after making an unbeaten 58 to keep the West Indies alive in the fourth series.

“(Team-mate) Chris Gayle said to me, ‘there are a few gaps in the field’. Then I realised that I am the one who is supposed to actually set the field. “It was strange because I was looking for my team-mates to help me,” he said. “I’m used to somebody else setting the field and being told where I have to go.” Asked if he had been groomed for the role by fellow Guyanese and former captain Carl Hooper, Sarwan replied: “Actually, I haven’t spoken to Carl for a long time and I don’t even know where he is.”
