Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
Ramdin's international career took off with a bang. He performed well in most of the matches and was shaping to be a West Indies regular. He made a gritty 71 against Australia 'Down Under', followed by a well-fought 62 against India, later that year. He was particularly impressive against India, putting up a fine display of his wicket-keeping abilities. However, his form as a batsman started slipping after a couple of years. Although, he had a terrible season, he was named as a part of the 2007 World Cup squad. In 2009, he scored his maiden Test century against England in Barbados, but his continued lack of form pushed him out of the side.
Some solid performances in the regional tournament in the 2011-12 season saw him returning to the national side after a gap of almost two years. He joined the Test squad for the tour of England in 2012. After failing in the first two Tests, Ramdin went on to make a superb 107 in the third Test. He, however, spoilt the occasion by flashing a note with “Yeah Viv, Talk Nah” inscribed on it for Viv Richards, who had earlier criticized Ramdin for his poor form on tour. He was criticized severely for this unruly behaviour and fined 20% of his match-fee by the referee.
Ramdin was caught in yet another controversy in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy in England. Ramdin had claimed a catch of Pakistan batsman Misbah-ul-Haq. However, television replays showed that the ball was not caught cleanly, and the matter was referred to the match-referee. Ramdin was fined his full match fee and suspended for two matches. During West Indies tour of India in November 2013, Ramdin was not up to the mark in both the Tests. He, however, hit an unbeaten fighting 53 in the second innings of the second Test as West Indies folded up for a paltry 187 and lost the series comprehensively.
Ramdin showcased his maturity in New Zealand, lifting West Indies from 86-5 to 286-6 along with Shivnarine Chanderpaul in the third Test in Seddon Park. He scored his fourth Test ton, but it was not good enough to carve out a win for his team. Ramdin's keeping skills have been razor-sharp as he has established himself as the first choice keeper-batsman in the West Indies team across multiple formats.
West Indies awarded Ramdin for his fine form with the Test captaincy. His first assignment was at home against New Zealand. He inspired his side to win the second Test after losing the first, but could not save the series as they lost the last match and the series 2-1. Ramdin, however, tasted his first success as captain when his side beat Bangladesh 2-0, but he could not make any significant contributions with the bat. During the tour of South Africa, Ramdin was tested both as batsman and captain, and he struggled for consistency. theless, Ramdin did a fine job when it comes to ODIs. He scored 169 against Bangladesh, the only hundred scored by a West Indian wicket-keeper. He followed that with a couple of fifties against India and South Africa.
Ramdin had an average time in the World Cup, but his half-century against Pakistan was vital in securing victory. He endured a difficult time as West Indies' captain and was deposed by Jason Holder after West Indies suffered a 2-0 loss on their tour down-under in 2015-16. He continued to remain as the first-choice keeper and enjoyed a fine run during the triangular series at home, also featuring South Africa and Australia.
During the course of the tournament, Ramdin became the first West Indies wicket-keeper batsman to complete 2000 career One Day International runs. Despite being in reasonably good batting and keeping form, Ramdin was soon eased out of the team from all formats of the game. He wasn't considered for the 2016 edition of the Caribbean Premier League - before being drafted in by St. Lucia Zouks as a late injury replacement. Ramdin was signed up by home-based franchise, Trinbago Knight Riders, for the 2017 edition of the CPL and he played a starring role in their title victory, chipping in with match-winning contributions in several games.
Ramdin finished with 212 runs, second best for his team, but it was his calm personality and his methodical batting that shone throughout the tournament - particularly in the final where he guided his team to their second title triumph amidst a tense and nerve-wracking finish.
Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
Denesh Ramdin was West Indies' first-choice keeper through much of his career since he was picked in the squad to tour Sri Lanka in 2005 at the age of 19. He impressed with his smoothness and agility behind the stumps, and made a half-century on Test debut in Colombo. Later that year he scored a plucky 71 against an Australia attack comprising Glenn McGrath, Brett Lee, Shane Warne and Stuart MacGill in Hobart.
When India toured the West Indies in mid-2006, Ramdin's keeping was impressive on pitches where the ball often died even before reaching him. His batting was patchy, though he produced a superb calculated assault on the Indian bowlers in the final stages of the Kingston Test.
Over a period of time his batting became increasingly inconsistent while his wicketkeeping standards dropped a notch. He did make his maiden Test century - 166 against England in Barbados - in March 2009, but that was followed by ordinary performances against Australia and South Africa, which led to him being dropped from the Test and ODI teams.
Ramdin eventually returned to the Test side on the tour to England in 2012. After not doing much with the bat in the first two Tests, he struck an undefeated 107 in the third, but soured the occasion by flashing a note addressed to Viv Richards on the field. Richards had earlier criticised Ramdin's lack of contribution on the tour. Though Ramdin apologised later, the act earned him plenty of criticism, and a fine of 20% of his match fee by the referee.
However, that century did revive his batting fortunes: in the next 18 months, from June 2012 to December 2013, he scored three hundreds in 12 Tests and averaged 53.61; in 44 Tests before that, he had averaged 22.28. His ODI form also saw a spike in 2014, when he scored 516 runs in 13 games, including 169 off 121 balls against Bangladesh in St Kitts - the highest score by a West Indies batter at home.
In May 2014, he replaced Daren Sammy as Test captain, and led West Indies in 13 Tests, of which they won four, drew two, and lost seven, before Jason Holder took over. Ramdin's tenure ended following West Indies' 2-0 loss at home against Australia in 2015.
In a tri-series at home against Australia and South Africa in 2016, he became the first West Indies wicketkeeper to aggregate 2000 ODI runs. Overall he featured in eight limited-overs World Cups for West Indies, including their two T20I wins in 2012 and 2016.
He announced his retirement from international cricket in 2022, having not played a match for West Indies since 2019.
