Shivnarine Chanderpaul has question WICB CEO Ernest Hilaire's comments regarding the lack of discipline and claim in the Windies team over the last decade. In a letter to the WICB (West Indies Cricket Board), Chanderpaul required a clarification from Hilaire regarding the explanation that he made next to the senior cricketers reproachful them of being disorderly and questioning their promise to the cause of the team.
The CEO during an meeting earlier with 'Line and Length network', while emphasizing upon West Indian cricket's bad run of affairs had said that lack of application and discipline over a continued period of time was accountable for their disaster.
"If you look at West Indies cricket since the mid-90s, a lot of the systems we had in place broke down. There's no regulation, there's no request. We've been doing that for 15 years and we've been losing.
"We need to put a new system in place. No one man is superior to the team, no one man is such a superstar he can decide if he is training on today, if he's going to have action tomorrow, if he's going to focus a team meeting. It cannot work that way," he said.
The left-hander has taken grave offence of the commentary and cautioned Hillarie about the "damage" he thought the meeting has done to his career.
"I must warn you that unless your explanation sufficiently deal with the matter and show them to be based on truth and free of malice, I will take whatever action necessary to clear my good name. While it would help if the WICB as an organization repudiate your comments in this regard, it would still not be enough to erase the wonderful damage already done," Chanderpaul was quoted as saying by 'Trinidad Express'.
The 36-year-old batsman, who along with Ramnaresh Sarwan and Chris Gayle was drop from the nationwide team for the home sequence next to Pakistan after their World Cup disaster, claimed that statement has bring disgrace to him as an "international cricketer and loyal servant of West Indies cricket".
"I am convinced that those persons who do not know the sacrifices I have made on behalf of West Indies cricket and my dedication to the cause of West Indies cricket would believe, based on what you have said in interview, that I lack discipline and application and have not demonstrated the sense of responsibility which I know that I have shown throughout my career," Chanderpaul wrote in the letter.
The left hander also pointed to his "perfect standing for professionalism", saying that Hilaire had "cross the line by making these public accusation" that if left "recognized and (not) corrected may obliterate my career."
