Saw that earlier in the week
what the WICB needs to do now is have him included in the Test Squad vs Pakistan and make one the games they having Guyana be dedicated to him.
Lawd man, they could show some decency and maturity can't they?

Conde Riley informed listeners the other night about the rules governing players that played in the International senior tournament.
He stated, once a player plays in that tournament, he has retire from International cricket, and cannot be selected.
Shiv will have to unretire to be selected, since he played in the senior tournament.

Maybe Cricket West Indies (WICB) could organise a special match in honor of Chanderpaul. I believe they would get several international players to participate. He is a well liked cricketer all around.
They really need to do something to honor him.
