Denesh Ramdin left out of West Indies squad for India Test series

Denesh Ramdin has been left out of the West Indies squad for their upcoming four-Test series against India.

Ramdin expressed his displeasure at being overlooked for the series, which starts in Antigua on July 21, live on Sky Sports.

The West Indies wicket keeper was served with an unspecified punishment for venting his frustration in public, the West Indies Cricket board announced in a statement.

On Twitter, Ramdin wrote: "Last two innings against Australia over 60 but not good (enough) to play anymore."

Ramdin was a member of the one-day-international squad which finished runners-up in the Tri-Nation series with winners Australia and South Africa.

Also missing was 32-year-old right-arm fast bowler Jerome Taylor, who has retired from this format of the game.

Taylor played 46 Tests for the West Indies, taking 130 wickets and his best bowling figures were six for 47 against Australia at Sabina Park in 2015.
