Chandrapaul Hemraj

Guyana’s Chandrapaul Hemraj and Shefrane Rutherford were not selected to the West Indies T20 and 50-over squads selected for the tour of Pakistan, after failing to meet the required fitness standards of Cricket West Indies (CWI).

This is according to Director of Cricket, Jimmy Adams during a press briefing on Saturday where he spoke on issues relating to the selection of the squad.

“There is a six-month window within which players have to achieve this target and within this window Chandrapaul Hemraj has not met the standard required and therefore was not eligible for selection,” said Adams, a former West Indies cricket captain.
