Chanderpaul no longer good enough to play for West Indies - Holding

Michael Holding, the former West Indies fast bowler, has backed the chairman of selectors Clive Lloyd's logic of jettisoning Shivnarine Chanderpaul for the Australia series.

Holding said that Chanderpaul, who has managed 183 runs in his last 11 innings at 16.64, was no longer good enough to be picked for West Indies.

Holding also echoed Lloyd's sentiment of making way for youth though it would take time to fill the Chanderpaul-sized void.

Chanderpaul is just 86 short of equalling Lara's record of being the highest West Indian run-scorer in Tests.
