Chanderpaul 'Tired and Lethargic'

The WICB on Monday issued the following statement:

"The West Indies Selection Panel felt that Shivnarine Chanderpaul looked tired and lethargic during the third Test match against England at the Kensington Oval in Barbados. On further investigation Chanderpaul confirmed that he felt tired and fatigued.

Out of concern for Chanderpaul, the Selection Panel thought it would be wise for him to be evaluated by the arm of the WICB medical panel located in Barbados represented by Dr. Llewellyn Harper. Chanderpaul showed some reluctance to comply with this direction and has therefore been allowed to return home for further evaluation."
