Ramnaresh Ronnie Sarwan (born 23 June 1980) is a West Indian former cricketer of Indo-Guyanese origin and a former member and captain of the West Indies cricket team. He was named as the Captain for the Guyana Amazon Warriors for the 2013 inaugural tournament of the Caribbean Premier League. He played his last international match as an ODI against India at The Oval on 11 June 2013. He announced his retirement from international cricket in September 2016.
He has been a member of the West Indies cricket team since his Test debut against Pakistan at Barbados in May 2000 – a match in which he was unbeaten in both innings including a first innings score of 84 not out. He missed scoring his maiden Test century against South Africa in March 2001 when he was run out for 91. His score of 78 in the second Test against India at Chennai in October 2002 was his fourth innings of 75+ that was not converted into a century. His maiden Test century came in his next Test series against Bangladesh at Dhaka. His next Test century came against Australia at St. John's in May 2003. His best innings (291) came against England in February/March 2009. Sarwan is also a part-time leg-break bowler with best bowling figures of 4 for 37.
During the most recent controversy involving the bowling action of Sri Lanka great Muttiah Muralitharan, which led to an International Cricket Council investigation of most of the world's international-class bowlers, Sarwan was found to be the only bowler tested who did not transgress the Laws of Cricket regarding the straightening of the arm during delivery.
