April 8: West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul, who has not played international cricket for two months because of a shoulder injury, has been recalled for the World Cup in England.

The left-handed Chanderpaul is in West Indies’s final squad of 15 for the tournament from May 14-June 20, having been kept out of action after damaging his right shoulder shortly before their tour of South Africa ended in February.

Chanderpaul was sent to a New York hospital for scans and examinations recently, after which an orthopaedic surgeon recommended further rehabilitation for 10 days.
