PORT-OF-SPAIN – Stroke-maker Ramnaresh Sarwan walked away with top honours when he copped the Player-Of-The-Year award at the West Indies Players’ Association Awards Ceremony here on Tuesday night.
The award was one of two for the diminutive right-hander who also picked up the Test Cricketer-Of-The-Year award at the annual event held at the Hyatt Regency.
Sarwan had a prolific series against touring England last year, scoring 626 runs in the five-Test series, including a career-best 291 at Kensington Oval in the fourth Test.
He then chalked up his 15th Test century on the two-Test tour of England, though he gathered a meagre 136 runs from four innings as West Indies were clean swept.
The West Indies limited overs Player-Of-The-Year award was won by veteran left-hander Shivnarine Chanderpaul, while all-rounder Dwayne Bravo took the West Indies Twenty20 Player-Of-The-Year award for performances at the World T20 Championship in England last year.
Bravo lashed 154 runs during that tournament, including two half-centuries, and also finished with ten wickets as West Indies reached the semi-finals before bowing out.
His younger sibling Darren was also successful on the night, voted the WIPA T20 Club Championship Player-Of-The-Year.
Trinidad and Tobago national captain Daren Ganga walked away with the first class limited overs top award, while his side captured the First-Class Team-Of-The-Year honour.
Rookie speedster Kemar Roach, who has made a great impression with his express pace at the international level, was also a winner on the night as he clinched the Emerging Player-Of-The-Year award.
Former prolific West Indies opener, Gordon Greenidge of Barbados, was the recipient of the Lifetime Achievement award. (CMC)
