Ramdin asks for improved helmets
West Indies Test Captain Denesh Ramdin has appealed to makers of cricket helmets to improve on their product, following the death of Australian batsman Phillip Hughes, who was hit by a bouncer from Sean Abbott.
Ramdin made the call as the West Indies left the Caribbean Sunday for South Africa to play that country in a three- Test series.
"The helmets that we have need to be improved because when you get a lash on it, you really feel the pain,” said Ramdin. “It is basically just a piece of fibreglass and this is not adequate protection."
