Former WI manager slams Ramdin axing

Former West Indies team manager Omar Khan has lashed out at regional selectors over their axing of wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin.
Khan, who quit the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) post in April, says it was clear Ramdin was facing some challenges but argued that discarding him was not the way to go.
The 25-year-old Trinidadian was overlooked for the tour of Sri Lanka starting next month where West Indies are scheduled to play three Tests and five One-Day Internationals.
Khan further says while he agrees that Ramdin has not been consistent with the bat, the Board has done nothing to help him.
Ramdin has played 42 Tests and 81 One Day Internationals but has struggled over the last year, both with the bat and gloves.
Jamaican Carlton Baugh Jr has replaced Ramdin in the Windies squad, with 20-year-old Leeward Islands gloveman Devon Thomas also included.
