If the board of directors of the WICB choose to drop Gayle as their captain should they go on their knees and plead with 36 year old Shiv Chanderpaul to lead the WI team to Sri Lanka ?
We all know that Shiv resigned the captaincy back in 2006 because he wanted to focus more on his batting. And focus on his batting he did.
In the 32 tests Chanderpaul has played in since he resigned the captaincy he has scored 2739 runs at an average of 63.69 with 8 hundreds and 19 fifties.
QUESTION:
If the WICB were to ask Shiv a favor---plead with him to lead the team to Sri Lanka---should he accept ?
PANDITJI SAYS NO WAY JOSE!
Shiv needs to spend the rest of his career focusing like a laser on raising his test average above 50----he is currently at 49.28 and he has a good shot at topping 50.
Let the WICB keep their captaincy. The ideal person to take over from Gayle is Ramnaresh Sarwan, but the WICB doesn't want Sarwan as their captain.
Hope Shiv is not foolish to accept the captaincy if the WICB begs him to lead the team to Sri Lanka.

Shiv is on a mission to get his 50+ average and he shouldn't lose focus on that goal.
