The National Sports Commission (NSC) is throwing its support behind former Guyanese and West Indies Captain Ramnaresh Sarwan, who has been appointed to the West Indies men’s senior and youth selection panels.
Director of Sport, Steve Ninvalle and Chairman of the National Sports Commission Kashif Muhammad, congratulates Sarwan and voiced the NSC’s support for the former Windies batsman who previously served as a commissioner on the NSC.
According to Ninvalle, the NSC is happy to see a servant of the ‘gentleman’s game’ being elevated to such an important committee at Cricket West Indies.
He added that the right-handed batsman will have the full support of the NSC and by extension the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sport.
Sarwan’s appointment was confirmed during a meeting of the CWI Board of Directors on Thursday.
Muhammad said Sarwan’s appointment reaffirms the respect and esteem that the region has for the beloved Guyanese.
Sarwan will be a member of the selection panels until 30 June 2024, a period that includes four ICC Global Events, two T20 World Cups (2022 & 2024), the Cricket World Cup (2023) and the World Test Championship Final (2023).
The senior and youth panels are being led by the Most Hon. Dr. Desmond Haynes and Robert Haynes respectively.
