Perth:Key West Indies batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul has undergone scans on an injured finger and is in doubt
for the third Test against Australia, starting at the WACA Ground on Wednesday.
Chanderpaul suffered the injury during the drawn second Test in Adelaide and is
still experiencing some discomfort, the Sydney Morning Herald reports. A West
Indies spokesman, however, said the scan was merely a precaution and team doctors
expected Chanderpaul to be fit to play. Results of the scan are expected to be
revealed either Monday night or Tuesday morning. The 35-year-old, who averages
48.7 in Test cricket, is a key plank in the West Indies' youthful line-up and
returned scores of 62 and 27 in Adelaide.
