Chanderpaul will be missed in the CPL

TIMES INT'L

Dear Editor,
The news about Shivnarine Chanderpaul’s absence from the inaugural Caribbean Premier League (CPL) is very depressing and Shivnarine ChanderpaulI am very upset to the point of being angry.
Since 2007, when Brian Lara exited the scene, Chanderpaul quickly became the embodiment of West Indies Cricket. His absence will surely be missed.
He would have been a big boost to this inaugural CPL tournament in the West Indies, even though T20 is not his forte.
Born August 16, 1974, makes Chanderpaul almost 39 years old. Will he be around for another edition of the CPL? His T20 scoring rate is just under 100, and he has played a mere 22 games. I think that in many ways, his absence will allow him to be further extended in test cricket, which is the ultimate.
His record stands currently at 148 tests for 10, 830 runs. He may still catch Lara, who leads quite comfortably at 131 tests for his 11, 953 runs. As it is, Chanderpaul is definitely one of the greats in West Indies cricket.
Yours sincerely,
Yollane Morrison
