West Indies again side line http://www.senore.com/Cricket/CH-Gayle-c1221 for Bangladesh tour – Cricket News Update
The rift between the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/West-Indies-c760 Cricket Board and Chris Gayle continues after the explosive left-hander was again omitted from the Windies squad for the tour of Bangladesh, which starts from next month.
In the announcement of the Test and One Day squad, the other notable omissions were of middle-order batsman, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/DJ-Bravo-c1379.
Sarwan has lost considerable touch and form over the last couple of years, but rejuvenated himself in the recent ODI series against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/India-c750, hitting three half-centuries. However, he will miss the trip due to an injury. As for Bravo he was excluded despite
being available for selection.
There was a recall for Denesh Ramdin, currently playing in the Champions League T20, and also for 28-year-old spinner, Shane Shillingford, whose career was cut short after questions were raised over the legality of his actions last year.
However the disappointing factor remains the exclusion of Gayle, with the yesteryear greats like http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Curtly-Elconn-Lynwall-Ambrose-c51793 calling for his inclusion in the team. The player for now is free lancing his explosive trades in different T20 tournaments throughout the cricketing
nations.
Despite discussions taking place last month between Gayle and the board, the deadlock between the parties remains. The left-hander was last seen playing for the national team in the http://www.senore.com/Cricket/ICC-World-Cup-2011-c100625 World Cup 2011.
Nearly a month long http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Bangladesh-c747 tour will see the Caribbean side play two warm-up games, beginning October 7, followed by one T20I, three ODI matches and two Tests to round up the tour by November 2, 2011.
