DEAR EDITOR,
This is in response to Mr. Kissoon¹s May 28th article on Chanderpaul.
First of all most of the content is irrelevant since it is centred on his personal experiences and reference to Elton John and Michael Jackson. Secondly, it seems his knowledge of cricket is very limited and his shortsightedness on the recognition of an employee’s dedication to an employer is evident in the content of the article.
There is no argument that Chanderpaul is at the end of his career as a batsman. However, in any decent, democratic society, an employer has a responsibility to terminate an employee, who has dedicated his life to the organization through the good and bad times, in a respectful and orderly manner.
Based on the information released in the media in the letter from Lloyd to Chanderpaul, it seems this was the only and last communication Chanderpaul received of his termination as a player in the WI team bringing an abrupt end to his career. If this is the case, does Mr. Kissoon believe this is a fair manner to treat “a human being” who has served his organization as an employee in an unselfish manner when “the sun sets”?
Irrespective of whether the WI selectors or WICB choose to recognize this great cricketer contribution to the game, I am confident WI fans and Guyana will give him a fitting exit from the game as “the sun sets” for him.
Finally, I applaud Mr. Cameron and other members of the WICB who fought unsuccessfully for a more appropriate exit for him from the game.
