Chris Gayle desires to be back on the West Indian squad – Cricket News Update
In a recent interview with the Hindustan Times, estranged http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket
World Cup 2011.
During the interview, Gayle stated, “I’m very disappointed not to be involved with West Indies cricket. Based on the last couple of years, my service has been wonderful. I still think I have a lot to offer, especially at this point in time. After the IPL,
I felt on the top of my game.”
Gayle’s dispute with the WICB began after the all-rounder opted to represent the Royal Challengers Bangalore in the last Indian Premier League (IPL) rather than opting to serve his national team, which was scheduled to play http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Pakistan-c755 in a home series soon
after the World Cup.
As a result, the Board axed Gayle from the national squad and remained steadfast on the decision as the Jamaican player was further excluded from the Caribbean side’s later series against the Indian tourists.
The dispute still stands irresolute, despite Gayle’s initiative that brought in the Caribbean state heads that were requested by the all-rounder to look into the matter.
As for now, since Gayle’s exclusion from the national ranks, the player has only been playing T20 cricket and is currently engaged with the Royal Challengers in the proceeding mega-event, Champions League T20.
Gayle is currently amongst the only four batsmen in the world who have scored two Test cricket triple tons and for the matter, the all-rounder stated that he still has the capability to earn a triple ton for his national team.
“Definitely I feel I'm capable of getting a triple ton again, with my experience. Lot of ODI runs to be scored as well," he says. "But you have to take one step at a time."
Despite being jammed in a rift with the Board, Gayle still stands confident that he will soon be returning to the national squad, once he is through with the CLT20 and then the upcoming domestic Caribbean competition, where Gayle stated that he will be representing
his home side, Jamaica.
