Shiv Fate Hangs In Balance

Thu, May 21, '15

West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) president Dave Cameron said the public should know within days whether Shivnarine Chanderpaul has a future with the West Indies team.

The 40-year-old Chanderpaul, affectionately referred to as 'Tiger', is the second highest run-scorer in West Indies Test history with 11,867 runs - including 30 centuries - at an average of 51.37. However, in his last 11 innings, the Tiger has been toothless in scoring just 183 runs - 91 in five innings against South Africa and 92 in six against England.

He recently met with members of the Windies hierarchy to discuss his future with the team.

Cameron told The Gleaner yesterday he was unable to disclose how those discussions turned out.
