Youth career

As a prolific run scorer for Guyana at youth level, he earned ​a spot in the Windies squad for the 2014 Under-19s World Cup held in the UAE.^{[citation needed]}

During the World Cup, he scored an unbeaten 84 against Zimbabwe in Abu Dhabi. Chanderpaul's knock helped propel the Windies to an eventual 167 run win over the Zimbabweans.[6]

He then scored 93 against Canada to notch a consecutive man of the match award in a 67 run win. With this victory the West Indians progressed to the tournament's knock out stages.[6]

Domestic career

He plays for Guyana in first-class cricket and made his first-class debut in February 2013 at age 16 for Guyana against Leeward Islands in the regional four-day competition at Sir Vivian Richards Stadium in North Sound.^{[citation needed]}

His father Shivnarine had also made his first-class debut for Guyana as a teenager, when he was 18. Shivnarine was playing the Bangladesh Premier League and was away during the course of his son's debut.^{[citation needed]}

He was dropped from the Guyana Jaguars Cricket team due to a lack of form however he was still offered a contract with the franchise along with fellow under19 stars: Shimron Hetmyer, Keemo Paul and Gudakesh Motie.^{[citation needed]}

As of July 31, 2015, he was listed in the Demerara senior team to partake in the Guyana Cricket Board Inter County four-day Competition, where he will look to be a prolific scorer and make a claim for a second burst in first-class cricket.^{[needs update]} In the 2016–17 Regional Four Day Competition, Chanderpaul had the chance for several innings with his father; in March 2017, the Chanderpauls became the first father-son partnership to both score 50s in the same First-Class innings since CK and CN Nayudu in 1956–57.[7]

In October 2019, he was named in Guyana's squad for the 2019–20 Regional Super50 tournament.[8]

Style

Tagenarine like his father is said to be a patient batsman, hard to dislodge and capable of spending a lot of time at the crease. But is capable of upping the tempo if needed.^{[citation needed]}
