Cricket world saw another retirement today as former West Indies captain Shivnarine Chanderpaul quit all forms of international cricket. Known for his odd batting stance and his stylish batting, Chanderpaul’s glorious international career ended after a long period of 22 years. On this occasion, Indian cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar took an opportunity to congratulate the 41 year-old southpaw from Guyana and wished him luck for his future, through his tweet.
Congrats Shiv on a great career. You practiced the virtue of staying at the wicket & accumulating runs. Best of luck. #chanderpaulretires.

Chanderpaul is the only cricketer from West Indies to have amassed more than 10,000 runs in Tests after Brian Lara. His last appearance for West Indies was back in May, 2015 against England. A master in its truest sense, Chanderpaul will now play in the Masters Champions League (MCL) for Gemini Arabians.
