The Guyana coach has described Chanderpaul as “an asset” to the side that has struggled in the competition this season.
“He has scored a lot of runs in the two matches he has played in the tournament so far, and has been sharing his knowledge with the younger players,” said Seeram.
The former Guyana batsman added: “His presence and his advice have helped the batsmen to show a little more consistency.”
Left-hander Chanderpaul has had scores of 23, 77, 105, and 32 not out in his four knocks in the competition so far.
His batting in the sixth round match against Leeward Islands helped the Guyanese break their drought, and clinch their first victory this season.
Seeram also disclosed that a decision has been taken by the national cricket board to stage a remedial camp at the end of the season to work on developing the players mental approach to the game, as well as technical.
“We have a lot of young and talented players who can go on to international level, but I think they are lacking in experience at this time,” he said.
“I think they should be nurtured and polished and must be given the necessary exposure. With a little more experience, they can go on to bigger and better things.”
Seeram, aged 48, took control of the Guyana senior team last year, when he replaced the long-standing Albert Smith.
