Shivnarine Chanderpaul :
Scored 11867 runs in 164 Tests at an average of 51.37 with 30 Test centuries and 66 half centuries.
Just 87 runs short of the runs scored by the great Brian Lara ~
However, he was shown a cold shoulder by the selectors in the year 2015
and since then was left out of the Test team to which he had expressed his disappointment.

He was dropped from ODI for West Indies in 2011 as a 35 year old :angry:
