West Indies middle order batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan is feeling better
these days and expects a complete recovery from his injured back
within four weeks.
The 21-year-old batsman said he was receiving daily treatment for a
degenerated disc and is recovering well since pulling out from the
West Indies just before the start of their current series against
Pakistan, last month.
