West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul (41) has officially retired from international cricket, seven months after selectors opted to discard the veteran and push for a youth-oriented policy.
Chanderpaul, who was dumped before the home series against Australia last June, said at the time he felt he deserved the opportunity to play one final series despite a poor return in domestic cricket before the squad was selected.
The West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) thanked him for his contribution to their game.
