Dinesh Ramdin rues absence of senior players

Denesh Ramdin

Denesh Ramdin reckons that absence of their top players was a major reason for their defeat in the Twenty20 series against India. "It's difficult to build a team given the current scenario.

When you look at our T20 players they are in demand all over the world, so yes, we are suffering in that aspect. Our senior players did not turn up for the tour, and that's one of the reasons why we are 0-2 down in this series," Ramdin said ahead of the third T20I. Explosive batsmen Chris Gayle and spinner Sunil Narine were missing from the WI line-up.

"It's all about having food on the table. The players are good enough to be taken by a team in another part of the world, then I can't stop a player who's out there to improve."
