Chanderpaul, who amassed 11,709 runs at an average of 52.74 in his Test career, said that they have to put their 'disappointment' behind them and take it as a 'learning experience'. He also urged the team to do better in the next match, Sport24 reported.

He further said that the players have talent and are 'bright stars' for the future, adding that hopefully they could put some big scores up on the board in the Boxing Day Test at St. George's Park.
