In 25-year-old batsman Tagenarine Chanderpaul, the Guyana Harpy Eagles have a fully comprehensive insurance policy. Against the Barbados Pride in the final session of their West Indies Championship clash at the Queen’s Park Oval in Port-of-Spain this evening, they should not have needed Chanderpaul’s input. Arguably, they may not have …

Shimron Hetmyer was one of the most talked about West Indies cricketers this year, without actually playing for the West Indies—owing, according to the Cricket West Indies (CWI) selectors—to his fitness issues.

One day fuh police, they say, one day fuh tief. Cricket does not always work that way but on Tuesday at Warner Park in St Kitts, it did. Faf du Plessis’ St Lucia Kings, victors when they stopped Kieron Pollard’s Trinbago Knight Riders five runs short of their 157 for …
