ST JOHN’S, Antigua – West Indies cricket legend Shivnarine Chanderpaul
was announced as one of the new members of International Cricket Council
(ICC) Hall of Fame on Tuesday afternoon in Australia
(Monday night Caribbean Time).
His first-class career was outstanding with 27,545 runs
in 385 matches at an average of over 53.
He had 77 centuries including a career-best of 303 not out
for Guyana against Jamaica.
“It’s an amazing honour to follow the footsteps
of many legends and so many other great cricketers of the past.
I’m grateful for the recognition and would like to enjoy the moment with
family, friends and most importantly the West Indies cricket fans
and fans around the world who passionately supported me
throughout my career.”
‘heights of great men reached and kept
were not attained by sudden flight
but they while their companions slept
were toiling upward in the night.’
