Providence: Former Guyana batsman Rabindranauth Seeram has criticised West Indies selectors for overlooking left-arm spinner Veerasammy Permaul for the upcoming tour of Sri Lanka.

"The selectors definitely made a huge error by not taking Permaul to Sri Lanka. I am not too sure what basis they want to pick the team on, but I believe form plays an important part in our selection," Seeram said.
Seeram, who averaged 35 in 41 first class games between 1983 and 1992, said Permaul and leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo would have formed an excellent partnership on the spin-friendly wickets in Sri Lanka.
"The Guyanese spin twins of Devendra Bishoo and Veerasammy Permaul have proven time and again in recent history that they can consistently demolish batting sides. Both spinners complement each other well and in Sri Lanka where the pitches are on the slow side, the two would have to deliver the goods for us," Seeram said.
