West Indies fast bowlers have been suffering from a number of
injuries recently. The batsmen have not been scoring as
consistently as many believe, based on their talent, they should,
and in its efforts to rectify the situation, the West Indies
Cricket Board (WICB) has turned to biomechanics.
Just what is biomechanics? Can it really solve the problems? In
this interview, Tony Becca got some answers from WICB chief cricket
development officer, Dr. Michael Seepersaud:
He shares my zodiac sign; so does his father. His mother
celebrates her birthday the same day I celebrate mine. On a rainy
Sunday morning, I learnt much more about Devon Smith - his
childhood, his family life, the much anticipated call up to the
senior team as well as some of the people who have influenced his
life.
As I told Devon, this interview is less about the technicalities
of his cricket and more about him, the person.

Sarwan hails from a small Island in the Essequibo River called
Wakanaam but moved to the capital Georgetown as a pre-teen and
