Pakistan Test drop was a shocker: Sarwan

KINGSTON, Aug 9: West Indies captain Ramnaresh Sarwan has called the experience of being dropped from the Test squad in Pakistan last year one of the most shocking incidents of his life and hit out against the team management of the day, calling it “a political decision”.

“I was in the dressing room on the morning of the Test preparing to go out for batting practice when Brian Lara approached me and said I was not playing,” Sarwan told Jamaica Gleaner. “I was very shocked but I said nothing and went out to do some batting drills. I don’t think my omission was justified. I was very angry because there was no specific reason given for the decision to drop me.

“It made me understand that sport is also about politics and that people would do what’s necessary to accomplish their own goals, whatever that might be. It was a very humiliating experience, but I think it has made me stronger as a person,” Sarwan expressed.
