"I was walkin' up the steps. Kanhai was coming down the steps. And Kanhai was askin' how he could get hold of Chandra.
It was a couple of days before the Test match. They had a lot of preparation, I remember vividly. Somebody said, 'Look, Richard comin' up, the captain of the club.'
Kanhai asked me if I could call Chandra. I say, yes, but he's all the way up the East Coast. I asked him if he want him now or I can get him tomorrow.
He said now, he want him now. I was still young, I didn't be drivin' then. I got a friend, Mark, his dad had a car, and same time Mark was comin' in as well.
I say Mark, we got to go up to Mahaica, Unity, we got to pick up Chandra. So Mark say, 'For what?' I say Mr Rohan Kanhai asked me to go and get him.
So Kanhai said, 'Well, he's been included in the West Indies squad, but keep it quiet.' I said whoa, me 'en wait for him to finish!
Me and that guy, Mark, we shoot out and we start headin' up East Coast!
