New Delhi. The series of two Test matches between Australia and West Indies started in Perth on Wednesday. In this match, 26-year-old opener Tejnarayan Chanderpaul made his debut for the West Indies. Tejnarine is the son of West Indian batsman Shivnarine Chanderpaul. This has happened after 44 years when the son of a former West Indies Test cricketer has made his Test debut. Earlier in the year 1978, David Murray, son of Sir Everton Weekes, made his Test debut for the West Indies. Murray died four days ago and to pay tribute to him, the Windies players came to the ground wearing black armbands.

Tejnarine, son of Shivnarine Chanderpaul, was given the debut cap by former great Brian Lara. On this occasion, Lara told Tejnarayan, “I was there when your father made his debut. Today your father must be feeling proud. I wish you all the best. I am sure you will do well for your country. Brian Lara and Shivnarine Chanderpaul made many records for the West Indies while playing a lot of cricket together. West Indies Cricket has also shared this special moment on social media.
