... Sarwan too

GEORGETOWN, Guyana (CMC):

Ramnaresh Sarwan feels his time as West Indies captain has passed and fully endorses Chris Gayle for the position.

Sarwan, as well as Gayle, Trinidad & Tobago captain Daren Ganga, T&T vice-captain Dwayne Bravo, and T&T wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin have all been put forward in public discussion for the position.

"I got injured just when I was appointed captain and things did not really work out for me, so I think my time has passed," said Sarwan at a news conference yesterday.

"I want to concentrate on improving my cricket and my full support is with whoever is appointed captain."

Sarwan, like several other current players, believes that Gayle has not done a bad job as captain and has also done well with the bat as leader and should be given the opportunity to continue.

"Chris has got the support of all of the players and I think that is very important in any team sport," said Sarwan.

"He has done a good job so far and I know he is committed to West Indies cricket."
