Shivnarine Chanderpaul has insisted he has not retired from domestic cricket and intends to resume playing for Guyana within a couple of weeks.
In an episode that sheds light on the sometimes toxic relationship between the West Indies Cricket Board and Caribbean players, Chanderpaul has expressed resentment at being obliged to announce his international retirement in order to gain a No Objection Certificate to play in the Masters Champions League currently taking place in the UAE.
Chanderpaul, 41, has not played international cricket since May 2015 and was omitted from the list of contracted WICB players in December.
"I was given a No Objection Certificate by WICB with a clause in it that I retire on the 23rd," Chanderpaul told ESPNcricinfo. "If I didn't announce my retirement they would have taken it back.

someone is being disingenuous here
the headline from cc.com is not helpful
Retirement was a prerequisite for the granting of a NOC for the masters tournament.
It is an ICC directive.
All of this talk is embarrassing to Shiv's legacy.
The bandits can't be accused of forcing him to retire in this instance
Shiv can't have his cake and eat it.

am i missing something here?
Yes, Shiv was forced to retire. But no where did he say WICB forced him. All he said in order for him to be granted the NOC he had to retire else WICB would not have granted it.

Anything is possible in life. You can go into retirement; you can come out of retirement. It is my choice. I'm definitely still hungry to play. It's something I've done most of my life. There is still passion and hunger to play."
Big up
Shivnarine Chanderpaul.

i really don't see whats all the fuss about!!
What is wrong with Shiv expressing his feelings that he was forced (by the situation) to retire? He has not blamed anyone!
He still has desire to play for WI but this MCL league requires that he retires...and he did so reluctantly.

You're not missing anything Bro.
The Shivster's commitment to Guyana cricket is admirable. Most Test players don't give a rat's arse about domestic cricket after they retire. Shiv's decision to play for Guyana and mentor the young players is noble indeed.

Shiv is a keeper. The guy rather play for WI and Guyana over any other league. Maybe WI should should give him a batting consultant role since Cricket is in his DNA
