Lloyd’s letter to Chanderpaul

May 26, 2015 Sports

Dear Mr. Chanderpaul,
Following your meeting with the Coach, Mr. Simmons on 4th May 2015, and his subsequent Whatsapp conversations with you, I tried to contact you on several occasions but you had already left for Guyana. I rang your home telephone number in Guyana and left my details with a male member of the house requesting that you contact me which he promised to do. To date, you have not returned my calls and it is rather unfortunate as I did want to have the opportunity to have a discussion with you prior to writing this letter to you.
The Coach and the Selectors have studied your stats from the last 6 Test matches to date, 3 against South Africa and 3 against England. You batted 11 innings and had an aggregate of 183 runs at an average of 16.64.  In determining the squad for the series against Australia, The selectors have decided to move on with younger players for the future.  I therefore regret to inform you that the Coach and selectors have decided to omit you from the squad for that series.
You have been a great player for the West Indies and have given excellent service to the game and to West Indies supporters all over the world. We hope that your skills will be utilised in the future and we wish you all the very best. We also wish to thank you for your contribution to this game which gave us all our upward mobility.
On behalf of the Selectors and the West Indies Cricket Board we wish you continued success. You have been a tower of strength to W.I. cricket and you will be remembered for being a true icon, who has epitomised everything that is great about the wonderful game.
Yours Truly,
 Clive H. Lloyd
Chairman of Selectors
