Chanders to miss out against Aussies

Long serving West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul will not face Australia in the upcoming two-Test series in the Caribbean, starting on June 3 in Dominica.

The Guyanese left hander, just 86 runs shy of Brian Lara’s record for the most Test runs, has been overlooked by the regional selectors and as a consequence Lara’s record will stand.

Chanderpaul had two poor series against South Africa in South Africa and England in the West Indies, where he averaged just 16 runs per innings.

T&T Guardian understands that the management of the team tried to get Chanderpaul to call it a day but was met with resistance and as such they had no choice but to go without him.
