He played 164 matches and made 11,867 runs at an average of 51.37. He is the newest member of the coaching staff, headed by head coach Floyd Reifer, and will be part of this preparation period, which runs from November 15 to 28 at the Coolidge Cricket Ground in Antigua, Cricket West Indies (CWI) said on Friday evening.CWI's director of cricket, Jimmy Adams, 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."The selection panel has named 28 players for the camp following the previous camp and trial matches held in August. This includes two newcomers who will be assessed by the coaches and selectors Jaden Leacock, a right-arm fast-medium bowler and right-hand batter; and Kevin Wickham, a right-hand batter and right-arm wrist spinner.CWI's chief selector for Rising Stars U19s, Robert Haynes, said, "Having had a month-long camp in Antigua in August followed by the 18-man West Indies Under-19 squad tour of England, I am looking forward to see the continued progress and improvements of the various players as well as to interact with them to understand their thinking and approach to the game."The two-week camp will include four practice matches along with continued skills and physical development, and it's an opportunity for all players invited to stake a claim for selection for the series at home and the ICC Under19 Cricket World Cup," he added.The ICC U-19 Men's Cricket World Cup will commence on January 4.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
