West Indies cricket officially shut the door on Shivnarine Chanderpaul when the name of the team's second highestrun-getter was left out of the Test squad set to face Australia on June 3. The selection committee, led by former skipper Clive Lloyd, picked a 14-man squad for the first Test in Roseau Dominica. Chanderpaul's name expectedly did not feature in the team. The 40-year-old Guyanan, a veteran of 164 Tests, has been a regular member of the Caribbean Test squad since his debut in 1994. Chanderpaul has amassed 11,867 Test runs — an agonising 86 behind West Indies' record run-getter Brian Lara. But the left-handed batsman managed just 92 runs in three matches against England at an average of 15.33. While Lara had openly backed Chanderpaul and said that his former teammate deserved a farewell series, many former players, including pace ace Michael Holding, believe that the veteran's time is up. Chanderpaul though had wanted to play in the series. West Indies and Australia will play two Tests — in Dominica from Wednesday and at Sabina Park, Jamaica, from June11-15.
