Ganga: Ramdin will push Windies up rankings

Former West Indies skipper Daren Ganga has backed new Test captain Denesh Ramdin to be a success in the role, saying he has the tactical nous to push the side up the ICC rankings, past New Zealand.

Ganga feels Ramdin, widely agreed to be the best wicketkeeper they have, will be a good leader, telling Cricinfo: "It's a great opportunity to show his worth.
"He has been groomed as a leader in the Regional Four-Day tournament for Trinidad and his experience at junior levels leading show he is ready to grab the reins of leadership.
"His tactical knowledge and understanding of the game is pretty sound. I've played for many years with Denesh. I think he can mesh the various personalities and motivate players of different backgrounds on the team.
"He can make a positive difference. Denesh can help West Indies leapfrog New Zealand in the rankings (NZ are sixth, WI are eighth)."
