The National Independent Party in a release, is demanding that government seek an explanation from the West Indian Cricket Board as to why Shivnarine Chanderpaul was omitted from the Regional Team in the World Cup 2015 and sending a team of Cricketers which proved an embarrassment to the West Indies and the Republic of Guyana.

It is clearly insularity and discriminatory and not based on performance and record, the release stated.

Attorney Saphier Husain Suebedar, who is leader of the party, notes that, “It is evident the said West Indian Team is ignorant of strategic field placing and lacked intelligence of the game as a whole.”

“The National Independent Party calls on the Government of Guyana to demand an explanation and apology.”

The party has a vision to establish a Cricket Academy as part of a faculty of the University of Guyana and provide scholarships to all Under-14-year-old, prospective, talented and young cricketers in order to restore West Indian dignity, self-respect and equality/superiority with former Colonialists, the release noted.

While Chanderpaul is 40-years old, he has shown he is still capable of playing cricket at the highest level and even outperforming many of his younger fellow players.
