Former West Indies batter Shivnarine Chanderpaul will step down as the head coach of the USA senior women’s and U19 teams after the inaugural ICC U-19 Women’s World Cup in South Africa, USA cricket announced in a statement on Wednesday.
“It is really unfortunate that Chanderpaul has intended to part ways with the current role as head coach after the U19 World cup. His experience as a player and his expertise as a coach are of immense value, and it had started to show results in his early stint as a coach of the USA Women’s team. USA Cricket governing body is trying to stabilise from the few losses since its inception in 2018, as half dozen coaches, few administrators and few selected independent directors have departed and to lose Shivnarine at this juncture is a big loss for USA Cricket, no doubt about that,” an unnamed source said in the board’s statement.
Last week, USA Cricket had announced its U19 Women’s team for the World Cup, and the new development has come in as a massive surprise for the board.
