After over a year away from international test cricket, Chris Gayle hopes to don his whites for West Indies again next year.
Gayle, who is currently in Australia to play for the Melbourne Renegades in the Big Bash League, said he would love to add to his 103 test match total with the West Indies. The West Indies could have done with some Gayle force, after their excruciating loss against Australia by an inning and 212 runs.
“There’s no way I could have actually been part of that Test team [in Hobart], I’m just coming back off injury,” Gayle told a news conference on Tuesday. “[But] I haven’t retired from the game so Test cricket is still on the agenda for sure.”
Gayle also came to the current West Indies team’s defense, saying that the team needs more time to come into form.
“You don’t really have to be so hard on West Indies cricket. We have to give it time,” says Gayle. “It’s a young team so we definitely have to give it time rather than being so harsh on West Indies cricket all the time.”
