FORMER Guyana and West Indies opener Sewnarine Chattergoon is set to open a new “innings” this Saturday when he throws open the doors to his brand new, sport store at 26 Block (1) Kilcoy, Chesney, Corentyne in Berbice.
Chattergoon told Chronicle Sport that his store, which will consist mainly of cricket equipment will be branded Chattergoon 65 Sport Store since 65 was the number he used while representing Guyana and West Indies.
Among the popular brand names which will be showcased are SG, CA, Arshak, MRF, DSC and SS Ton.

A technically sound left-handed opener, Chattergoon was handed his Test debut against Sri Lanka in April 2008, thanks to a string of impressive scores at the domestic level. He failed in the second innings of his maiden Test appearance but passed muster in the first, compiling 46 against a Sri Lankan bowling unit, which contained the likes of Chaminda Vaas and Muttiah Muralitharan.

He was picked for the subsequent series against Australia, where his determination and resolve came to the fore. Despite being on crutches, the day before as a result of an injury, the Guyanese batsman limped out to show some fight in a big run chase.
Among Chattergoon’s domestic achievements, his century in the 2005-06 KFC Cup final, which steered Guyana to the final, stands out.
Chattergoon’s brother Hemnarine represented Guyana and West Indies at the Under-19 level before migrating to Canada where he played for his adopted country in the ICC Intercontinental Cup.
