BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC — Estranged West Indies batsman Chris Gayle has not ruled out making himself available for the third Test of West Indies’ ill-fated tour of England but says a meeting with the West Indies Cricket Board on Sunday will take priority.
The former Windies captain will sit down with WICB officials, Antigua’s Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer and St Vincent Prime Minister Ralph Gonsalves in St Vincent to discuss “residual matters”, relating to the solution that was brokered last month which paved the way for the player’s return to the team.
At the same time, speculation has been rife that Gayle could fly out to join the struggling side that has lost both Tests of the series and is currently in disarray especially with a novice top order.
“I don’t know if I’ll eventually get that call [from the selectors] 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 how that would work,” Gayle said Tuesday.
