Batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan has withdrawn from the Trinidad & Tobago squad for the Professional Cricket League four-day competition due to personal reasons and will return to Guyana. Sarwan was T&T's overseas pick during the player draft organised in October and was one of the players who was not selected by his territorial squad of Guyana.

Sarwan had missed T&T's opening game against Barbados last week and was expected to sit out the second-round match against Leeward Islands, which starts on November 21. The Trinidad & Tobago Cricket Board has said it will consider options regarding Sarwan's replacement and hoped that the batsman will return to the team for the one-day competition.

Dat statement is incorrect. He did not 'miss' it. He was not selected. So, assuming that he was in reasonable form having recently played in the English county league, and with his experience and previous performance, it is puzzling that he did not make the squad.

What was the purpose of drafting him if he was not going to be a certainty to play ?

Can someone of his errrr, stature be expected to carry water and towels for the likes of Hosein and Carriah ? Too much ego there for that methink !

I believe it was reported that he was injured.

lol, de bajan players did battling Chick V but personal reasons like um contagious in Trinidad

You talk to him?

The first drama artist before Bravo still at it?

In reply to anandgb

It was widely reported that Sars was injured and that was why he didn't play in the first game. Whether that was true or not is up for debate.

In reply to Larr Pullo

That is what I am saying. Nothing of the sort was substantiated

Who pays for the hotel/accommodations for players such as Sarwan who were drafted by a team of another country? The PCL franchise or the player?

If it is the player, could this be a reason Sarwan is returning to Guyana?

In reply to Gupta

The employer pays for the player's expenses. I understand Sar's was provided with decent housing.

We must give Sars space and quit SPECULATION.
