The treatment is especially disturbing since it has come after a statement made by WICB President Dave Cameron where he stated; “…at the end of a long and illustrious career like Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s we want to ensure that whatever we do, it is well respected and that he knows and the region knows how much we value his services to West Indies cricket.” Chanderpaul the WICB/WIPA Test Cricketer of the Year for 2014 was not selected by the WICB to play in the upcoming home series against Australia. He averages 51.37 and has played in 164 Test matches, the most by a West Indian. At present he is our highest ICC ranked Test batsman and a man who has on numerous occasions held the West Indies batting innings together. His contributions were also acknowledged by Chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd where he said at a recent press conference; “The guy has been a great servant to our cricket and when that time comes, I think he should be given that sort of send-off that is expected of a player of his calibre.” Directors: Wavell Hinds (President & CEO); Nixon McLean (Vice-President); Wayne Lewis (Secretary) Liam Sebastien (Asst.
