Chris Gayle axed from limited-overs squad for home series, Cricket West Indies promises befitting farewell
India Today
The Cricket West Indies (CWI) announced their limited-overs squad for the upcoming series against Ireland and England but the absence of Chris Gayle meant that the Jamaican marauder has been denied what would have been a befitting home farewell.
Arguably one of the most feared batsmen in limited-overs cricket, Chris Gayle has been pivotal in the rise of West Indies on the international circuit over the years. Owing to slambang batting, the left-hander has also played a key role in promoting the shortest version of the game.
However, the Jamaican marauder is no longer the force he once was. And with the age catching up on the big-hitting batsmen, Gayle often struggles to find suitors - something that was quite evident in the recent announcement of the Windies squad for the upcoming home series against Ireland and England.
