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."
