'Shiv deserves farewell'
Brian Lara has criticised the decision of the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) to drop Shivnarine Chanderpaul from the training squad ahead of the Test series against Australia, saying that the 40-year-old batsman deserves an honourable farewell for his years of service.
“This has nothing to do with numbers or averages. What are they saying that Chanderpaul was given the last 11 innings to get the desired number of runs to break a record?
“This has absolutely nothing to do with runs or numbers. It has to do with respect and Chanderpaul has earned the right to say goodbye in an acceptable way. In fact, he should be allowed to do it in his own way,” he added.
