Senior West Indian batsman Ramnaresh Sarwan - out of form in the ongoing series - has been replaced by Nevisian opener Kieran Powell for the third Test against India beginning in Dominica on July 6. This is the only change in the West Indian squad of 13 for the final match. India leads the series 1-0.
Powell, a regular member of the West Indies `A' side, has played two ODIs for the West Indies.
Chairman of the selection panel, Clyde Butts said, “Ramnaresh is having a difficult time and it is best for him to make way and allow a player in better form to contribute to the team totals.”
He added, “We have no doubt about Ramnaresh’s class as a batsman, he has proven himself countless times in the past and we are certain that he will return stronger in the near future.”
