Heres what CricBuzz says about him.
He finally managed to register his first Test century against Bangladesh in 2002. His next ton came in a match that has been etched in memory. West Indies chased down 418 against the then No. 1 Test team, Australia at St. Johns, a feat that has not been broken as yet.
Sarwan's best seems to be reserved against England and South Africa. He has scored 9 of his 15 Test tons against these two countries. Sarwan had a dream 2004 racking up a thousand runs in the calender year. It also included a mammoth unbeaten 261 against Bangladesh.
It was also a period of time where West Indies competed well in the one day form of the game, they reached the finals of the Natwest series and won the Champions Trophy in 2004. Sarwan played crucial roles in the success of the team. However, he was one amongst several players embroiled in a controversy over contracts with the West Indian board and missed the first Test against South Africa in 2005. Injuries and loss of form proved detrimental as he was dropped from the squad for a period of time.
When Brian Lara retired after the World Cup hosted by West Indies, it was natural for Sarwan to be named the new skipper. However, a spate of injuries and loss of form meant that the captaincy was short lived.
During the second Test in the West Indies tour of England in May 2007, Sarwan injured his shoulder when he collided with the boundary fence while attempting to cut off a boundary. The injury was serious enough to rule him out of the remainder of the tour and for a further ten months. Sarwan returned to the West Indies side in 2008 for the home series against Sri Lanka, as vice-captain to Chris Gayle. Throughout the series Sarwan showed excellent form with the bat, looking very fluent and scoring over 50 in four consecutive innings, including a match-winning century, at an average of 77.75.
He followed this with more then 600 runs against the touring Englishmen in early 2009 which included a superb 291 at Barbados.
In 2010, Sarwan lost out on the central contract as a result of insipid form and fitness. With his differences with the WICB swelling to a crescendo, Sarwan concentrated on building his stint with Leicestershire. He turned out to be a top acquisition for the English County side, scoring a avalanche of runs.
In a surprise, he was called back for the limited overs leg of West Indies' tour to Australia in 2013. He could only eke out 12 runs in the 3 ODIs he played. With his international career all but over, Sarwan signed up with Leicestershire, stamping his return as their overseas player in 2014.
Interesting stat: At the age 28 years, 228 days he became the youngest West Indian to reach the 5000 runs milestone when he scored a century against England in Jamaica in 2009.

Heres what ESPNcricinfo says about him.
A nimble, Chaplinesque right-hander, Ramnaresh Sarwan made 84 not out in his first Test innings, against Pakistan, moving Ted Dexter to predict a Test average of more than 50 - quite a millstone to hang around any young player's neck. On his first tour, to England in 2000, Sarwan lived up to the hype by topping the averages. His footwork, which seemed to require no early trigger movements, was strikingly confident and precise.
Then came a horror run of three runs in five innings in Australia, but he recovered against South Africa, and against India in 2001-02 he made four fifties in eight Test innings. Still, Sarwan, who took over as West Indies vice-captain to Brian Lara in March 2003, needed 49 innings to post his maiden Test century - 119 in December 2002, against Bangladesh.
A dream away series against South Africa in 2003-04, where he made two hundreds, was followed by a lean run against England, but he returned to form with an unbeaten 261, against Bangladesh again. West Indies shone in their one-dayers in England in 2004, reaching the final of the NatWest Series, and then winning the ICC Champions Trophy, with Sarwan playing a big hand in both tournaments.
He was one of the players involved in a contract dispute with the WICB and missed the first Test against South Africa in 2005. On his return he scored attractive runs but was again overlooked for the captaincy, which was handed back to Lara. It finally came Sarwan's way following Lara's retirement in 2007, but he was out of the side injured from mid-2007 for about a year, and he was Chris Gayle's deputy on his return to the side for the home series against Sri Lanka - in which he made three half-centuries and a hundred in the two Tests.
In the 2009 home series against England, Sarwan recorded his personal best of 291 in the fourth Test. He made his 15th, and last, Test century against England at Chester-le-Street in May the same year, in a series West Indies lost 2-0.
Sarwan lost his central contract in 2010 and subsequently won damages from the West Indies board over comments made about his attitude and fitness. He played his last Test against India in Bridgetown in June 2011, finishing ten runs short of the career average Dexter predicted. He was recalled for the first time in 18 months in early 2013, for the ODI side, did poorly against Australia, and made an unbeaten 120 against Zimbabwe. Three matches on, his international career was over.
