But recently in his last series against England, he had a dismal average of only 15.33, reports the dailytelegraph.com.au on Sunday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAt 40, he&#39;s not seen as part of the team&#39;s future. The decision has been backed by fast bowling legend Michael Holding, while Lara supported Chanderpaul&#39;s bid for a farewell Test series.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nAll the members of the squad which was announced on Saturday featured in the drawn Test series against England apart from the duo of wicketkeeper-batsman Shane Dowrich and Rajindra Chandrika -- both scored brilliant 50s in last week&#39;s tour match against Australia in Antigua.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;My request to finish up with the Australian series is not asking too much,&quot; Chanderpaul told Caribbean media.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\n&quot;It gives me a chance to acknowledge my supporters at home... I should not be pushed into retirement.&quot;<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe two-Test series starts at the Windsor Park here from Wednesday.<br \/>\r\n<br \/>\r\nThe West Indies squad for first Test: Denesh Ramdin (captain), Devendra Bishoo, Jermaine Blackwood, Kraigg Brathwaite, Darren Bravo, Rajindra Chandrika, Shane Dowrich, Shannon Gabriel, Jason Holder, Shai Hope, Veerasammy Permaul, Kemar Roach, Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
