The 40-year-old Chanderpaul, affectionately referred to as 'Tiger', is the second highest run-scorer in West Indies Test history with 11,867 runs - including 30 centuries - at an average of 51.37. However, in his last 11 innings, the Tiger has been toothless in scoring just 183 runs - 91 in five innings against South Africa and 92 in six against England. He recently met with members of the Windies hierarchy to discuss his future with the team. Cameron told The Gleaner yesterday he was unable to disclose how those discussions turned out. "Unfortunately, I am not privy to the discussions, but obviously it is where he is at and what are the next steps," Cameron said. "In another couple of days it will be made a lot clearer as to the end result of those discussions or how we go forward."'

He didn't look like scoring runs, against an ordinary England attack.
Even so, sad end. Presumably he felt he had more to give, unless he was hanging on for the record.

. This was a tough decision for the selection panel to make," West Indies' convenor of selectors Clive Lloyd said in a statement.
"We recognise the significant contribution Chanderpaul has made to the West Indies' teams over the last two decades, but we want to take this opportunity to introduce a number of young, promising players into the squad."
