Mumbai: With experienced batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul missing the team’s practice session ahead of third and final Test against India here on Monday, the West Indies are keeping their fingers crossed and have decided to take a call on him tomorrow morning before the start of the match.

“We are monitoring the situation to see if he could make it tomorrow. Given the experienced player that he is we will take a call tomorrow,” West Indies skipper Darren Sammy told reporters on the eve of the inconsequential Test.

The 37-year-old Guyanese has scored a century (118) and two 47s in the four innings so far.Given the expected nature of the wicket at the Wankhede, which curator Sudhir Naik has termed as “sporting”, Sammy hinted on fielding a fourth pacer with speedster Ravi Rampaul likely to come in for leg-spinner Devendra Bishoo.
