Shivnarine Chanderpaul appointed West Indies U-19 batting consultant
Cricket West Indies (CWI) on Saturday announced that West Indies legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul will join the West Indies Rising Stars U19s squad as the batting consultant for the upcoming High-Performance Camp in Antigua as part of the West Indies Rising Stars U19s preparations for the ICC U19s Cricket World Cup to be hosted in the Caribbean in January-February 2022.
Chanderpaul, who had an outstanding international career, is the most capped player in West Indies Test history.
He played 164 matches and made 11,867 runs at an average of 51.37.
He is the newest member of the coaching staff, headed by Head Coach Floyd Reifer, and will be part of this preparation period, which runs from Nov 15 to 28 at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua.
Jimmy Adams, CWI’s Director of Cricket said: "We want to welcome Shivnarine Chanderpaul to the Rising Stars U19s group and we look forward to him working with our young players at this critical stage in their development pathway. Shiv has a tremendous amount of cricketing knowledge and know-how and he will be a great addition to the coaching staff. We already have another icon of the game in Sir Curtly Ambrose, who has been involved with the squad since the camp in August, as well as several other outstanding coaches.”
The Selection Panel has named 28 players for this camp following the previous camp and trial matches held in August.
This includes two newcomers who will be assessed by the coaches and selectors – Jaden Leacock, a right-arm fast-medium bowler and right-hand batter; and Kevin Wickham, a right-hand batter and right-arm wrist spinner.
