Chris Gayle’s participation in 3rd Windies Test probable - Cricket News Roundup – May 30, 2012 – Part 3
West Indies batsman Chris Gayle’s participation in the last Test of the team’s ongoing 3-match series against England is probable, as the left-hander is due for a meeting with the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 Cricket Board (WICB) on June 3, prior to the match.
“I don't know if I'll eventually get that call but I have to meet with the board first on the third of June and the Test match starts on the seventh, so I don't know how that would work,” said Gayle.
The 32-year-old has not played for the national team since the World Cup in March last year, owing to a spat with the WICB, which occurred after Gayle publicly criticised the board. However, a breakthrough earlier this year led to a truce between the two,
and the meeting has been scheduled in order to clear up what have been termed “residual matters”. The Test match, meanwhile, is scheduled to commence on June 7 in Birmingham.

After the Knight Riders won their maiden IPL title this year, the feat sparked joyous celebrations across Kolkata. A felicitation ceremony was organised for the champions by the state’s Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee, during which the team rode through the
city amid crowds which were estimated to be 50,000 strong. The players were also awarded gold chains by the CM and the Cricket Association of Bengal.
While the event was criticised for being wasteful and unnecessary, Shah Rukh Khan claimed that there was no harm in “being happy and sharing happiness”.
“Let's not be political. It has been done because we all are happy. There is nothing wrong if we bring a bit of happiness to the city of joy,” he said.
Following their second consecutive Test defeat at the hands of http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ottis-Delroy-Gibson-c80358, has urged his team to treat their matches against the Poms as a learning experience.
“It's what I tell our young guys: 'this what you have to learn. When you are standing in the field, this is part of your learning, watching these guys and learning from them',” he said.
The young, developing side recently suffered defeats in their first and second Test matches against England, who are ranked the number one Test team on http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 rankings. While a series win is out of the question, the final match offers the team a chance to salvage
their pride as they prepare to take on their hosts for a final round of extended-overs cricket at Edgbaston in Birmingham.
