Veteran wicketkeeper-batsman Denesh Ramdin was predictably dropped from the West Indies squad for the four-Test series against India while uncapped middle-order batsman Roston Chase earned his maiden call-up in the national side. For Ramdin, who has been a part of the West Indies team for last 11 years, having played 74 Tests, a batting average of 25.87 became his undoing. The first Test against India begins on July 21 in Antigua, followed by Tests in Jamaica, St Lucia and Trinidad. Chase, who also bowls offspin, had recently played in the two-day practice game against India where he managed only 3 runs. The WICB also intimated that Ramdin has been "sanctioned" for his outburst in relation to his non-selection.
