#2 Tagenarine Chanderpaul
The elder son of legendary West Indies batsman, Shivnarine Chanderpaul, Tagenarine plays for Guyana in first-class cricket and is an opener. Junior Chanderpaul is said to be a patient batsman who can up the tempo of the innings if necessary.
He was a prolific run scorer for the Guyana under-19 cricket team which earned him a spot in the West Indies Under-19 cricket team which went to the UAE for 2014 Under-19 World Cup. Moreover, he was awarded WICB/WIPA Under-19s Cricketer of the year in 2013.
He made his first-class debut in February 2013 at the age of 16 for Guyana against the Leeward Islands in the regional four-day competition at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium. Incidentally, his father, Shivnarine, had also made his first-class debut for Guyana as a teenager, when he was 18.
He was dropped from the Guyana Jaguars Cricket team due to a lack of form, however, he was still offered a contract with the franchise along with some of the fellow under19 stars. Although his obvious talent and technique are yet to translate itself into good scores, it augers well for the Windies that they have a young batting prodigy to watch out for.
