Former West Indian Captain Chanderpaul is the only player of the modern game to represent the West Indies for over two decades. Presently, the 41 year old is the highest ranked West Indian on the ICC Test Rankings. He also holds the record and esteemed honour for batting the longest period without being dismissed in Test cricket. During the almost 22 years of his career, he represented the West Indies 164 times in Test cricket, amassing 11867 runs, with his highest score being 203 runs, at an average of 51.37. He represented the West Indies in 268 ODI matches scoring 8778 runs, with a high score of 150, and an average of 41.60. In the shortest form of the game he played in 22 matches, scoring 343 runs at an average of 20.17. Chanderpaul’s unorthodox batting style did not hinder his performances on the field of play, as he collected accolades throughout his career. Some of the awards he has received include being named one of the Wisden Cricketers of the Year and ICC Player of the Year for 2008. He was also twice named West Indies Player of the Year, firstly in 2008 and then in 2014. WIPA’s President and CEO Wavell Hinds, who played alongside Chanderpaul for the better part of a decade said, “As a fan to witness him play was to see a player of grit and determination. Having the honour of playing alongside him, I certainly saw a consummate professional who gave his all for West Indies cricket.” He continued by saying, “Shiv’s contribution to the game has been priceless and we wish him the utmost success in his future endeavours.” ~ENDS~ Directors: Wavell Hinds (President & CEO); Nixon McLean (Vice-President); Wayne Lewis (Secretary) Liam Sebastien (Asst. Secretary); Ridley Jacobs (Treasurer); Patterson Thompson (Director) .

Wisden Cricketers Almanack
01.21 118 3rd proof FIVE CRICKETERS OF THE YEAR The Five Cricketers of the Year represent a tradition that dates back in Wisden to 1889, making this the oldest individual award in cricket. The Five are picked by the editor, and the selection is based, primarily but not exclusively, on the players’ influence on the previous English season. No one can be chosen more than once. A list of past Cricketers of the Year appears on page 1508. sNB. Cross-ref Hashim Amla NEIL MANTHORP Hashim Amla enjoyed one of the most productive tours of England ever seen. In all three formats he was prolific, top-scoring in eight of his 11 international innings. His triple-century in the First Test at The Oval was as career-defining as it was nation-defining: he was the first South African to reach the landmark. It was an epic, and the fact that it laid the platform for a famous series win marked it out for eternal fame. By the time he added another century, in the Third Test at Lord’s, he had edged past even Jacques Kallis as the wicket England craved most. Amla produced yet another hundred in the one-day series, at Southampton, prompting coach Gary Kirsten to purr: “The pitch was extremely awkward, the bowling very good. To make 150 out of 287 rates it very highly, probably in the top three one-day innings for South Africa.” Accolades kept coming his way as the year progressed; by the end, he had scored 1,950 runs in all internationals, at an average of nearly 63.
