Chanderpaul could still make a contribution to Guyanas cricket
Esuan Crandon, Head Coach of the Guyana Franchise team which will play in 2015-16 Regional First-Class cricket tournament scheduled to commence on November 6, feels West Indies’ most capped Test player Shivnarine Chanderpaul still has a role to play in Guyana’s cricket both as a player and a batting mentor.
The 33-year-old former Guyana pacer told Kaieteur Sports during a training session for the players at Bourda Monday that when the 41-year-old left-hander returns to Guyana he plans to sit with him to discuss his role in Guyana’s cricket.
“As far as I am aware Shiv still wants to play for Guyana at Regional First-Class level. He is as fit as most of the younger guys and when he comes back I will sit with him to discuss what he wants and how he can help Guyana’s cricket,” Crandon, who has 90 wickets from 38 First-Class matches from 2000 to 2011, informed.
Chanderpaul has 11,867 runs from 164 Tests with 30 centuries and said he was not retired and available to continue playing for Guyana with a view of batting his way back into the West Indies team.
