He made his debut against England in March 1994, in his native Guyana, where he made a half-century as the West Indies won by an innings and 44 runs.
His final Test was also against England in May 2015 in Barbados where the West Indies won by five wickets to level a three-Test series

In March 2005, Chanderpaul was appointed the captain of the West Indies side and he responded with an unbeaten 203, his highest Test score, against South Africa in Georgetown. The match ended in a draw but not before West Indies had the visitors on the mat for most part.
However, he stepped down a year later and admitted he wanted to focus on his batting and captaincy was taking a toll
In 2012, Chanderpaul joined the 10000-run club in Test cricket before ending his career with 11867 runs at an average of 51.37 with 30 centuries to his name.
In May 2015, he was dropped from the 14-member Test squad to face Australia. Chanderpaul played his last Test against England in Barbados, scoring 25 and 0 in his last two outings.
