Chris Gayle keen on taking West Indies cricket to new heights – Cricket News Update
The West Indian opening batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221, is completely focused on leading his side as a senior player and hopes to contribute in redeeming the sport in the Caribbean.
The 32-year-old remained out of international sport for more than a year after the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 Cricket World Cup 2011 because of his differences with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB). The left-hander, who is one of the most destructive batsmen in modern-day
sport, eventually made a comeback to the West Indian team for the recently concluded limited-overs series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013.
In the two-match T20 series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-Zealand-c754 at Florida, the former West Indies captain was named as the Player of the Series as he scored half-centuries in both the fixtures and looked in complete control.
Gayle is jubilant to be back at the world-stage and now his prime focus is to help the youngsters, who can carry the burden of Caribbean cricket in the coming years.
Over the last 12 months, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 did well in the series against Australia, drawing the ODI and T20 competitions but lost the
longer format.
The former Caribbean skipper said, "Being back now, I mean, whatever contribution I can actually share out there in the middle, and off the field, I'm definitely looking forward to that. We've played quite a few series which we haven't won. We played good
cricket in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746 series."
The Jamaica-born knows that there are some very talented young players coming through the ranks of cricket in the islands but he wants the team to perform well on regular basis, if they are to revive the glory of West Indies cricket.
"But you know we don't want to play inconsistent cricket. That's been our downfall, you know, playing a good game here, and then we lost the next game. That's something we need to get out of, and if we can get out of that, then we should actually win more
series," the great cricketer added.
