Chanderpaul appointed batting consultant for the West Indies Rising Stars U19s

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.”

Richard ‘Prof’ Edwards: “At no time when you saw West Indies batting (during the T20 World Cup) did they give any idea or feeling of permanence there. The batsmen looked they were in a hurry to make shots, all the time looking for attacks.”

Edwards: “I would think that now you have to come in and be a little ruthless. Who are you going to pick? Do you have the resources? Whatever it is, now is the time to build. [Because] supposedly experienced players never came to the party.”
