Skipper Brian Lara on Sunday asserted that he might have to reconsider
his position to lead the West Indian team. Lara revealed he was
informed on the eve of the fourth and final Test that he had been made
a member of the West Indies selection committee one month earlier.
“I got an endorsement letter from the West Indies Cricket Board a
couple days ago saying that I was a selector since May 28," he said. “I
definitely feel let down and I must tell you I know there is a meeting
relating to a new selection panel coming up in a couple of weeks and
depending on the selectors out there, I'll revisit my decision to
captain the West Indies team, " the southpaw added.
Lara was appointed captain for a third time in April after Shivnarine
Chanderpaul resigned from the post. He previously led West Indies
between 1998 and 2000, and again between 2003 and 2005.
