NAIROBI, Sept 10, 2007 (AFP) - Kenya has begun searching for a new national cricket coach to replace Roger Harper who is stepping down at the end of September after one and half years.
The former West Indies spinner has made his intentions known that he wants to return home in the Caribbean to be close to his wife and two school-going teenage sons.
CHESTER-LE-STREET, England, July 27, 2007 (AFP) - West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has joined Durham, the English county announced Friday.
Chanderpaul, the mainstay of West Indies' batting, was at the crease for more than 24 hours while averaging 148.66 during England's 3-0 home win in a four-Test series earlier this season.
He also scored 116 not out in the second one-day international at Edgbaston, a match West Indies won as they came from behind to claim the three-match series 2-1.
