GCB congratulates Tagenarine Chanderpaul on WI Test call
The Guyana Cricket Board (GCB) is congratulating Tagenarine Chanderpaul on his maiden call-up to the West Indies Test squad.
Tagenarine, son of former West Indies batting prodigy Shivnarine Chanderpaul, made his first-class debut against Leeward Islands in 2013, and has to date accumulated 2669 first-class runs, including five centuries and ten fifties, with an average of 34.21.

The 26-year-old Tagenarine also had outstanding performances during the recent West Indies/Bangladesh A team tour, recording 109 not-out and 49 in two first-class matches played.
West Indies will begin their 2022 Test tour of Australia with a Three-Day practice match against ACT/NSW, which gets underway from November 17, 2022 at St. Philips Oval in Canberra. This match will be followed by a day/night four-day practice match against the Prime Minister’s X1, which is scheduled to be played at Manuka, Canberra.
These matches will provide the West Indies with useful practice and game readiness for the two Test matches, the first of which is scheduled to be played from November 30 to December 4 at the Perth Stadium, and the second from December 8 to December 12, 2022 at the Adelaide Oval.
The President and Executive members of the Guyana Cricket Board hereby extend best wishes to Tagenarine Chanderpaul, and encourage him to draw from qualities that made his father a great West Indies batter hailing from Guyana’s soil.
