Dear Dr. Hilaire,
Re: Allegations of indiscipline and lack of application
This is to acknowledge receipt of your response, dated April 28, 2011 to my letter of April 27, 2011 in which I drew to your attention certain remarks you made, which were reported on the ESPN website cricinfo.com.
St John’s, Antigua – The WICB confirms that it has received an unsigned letter from WIPA sent on behalf of Shivnarine Chanderpaul.
WICB expresses its concern and disappointment that even before the letter was received by the WICB, the media were seeking comments.
Guyana and West Indies middle order batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul has responded to the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) reported allegations of indiscipline that was disclosed as a reason for him being dropped from the team allegedly through Espncricinfo.com.
Discarded West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has defended his level of fit ness, which Chairman of Selectors Clyde Butts alluded to as one of the reasons for his sacking from the T20 team and ODI squad for the first two matches against Pakistan later this month.
