Gayle In: West Indies one-off T20I squad against India

West Indies selectors have announced the one-off T20 international squad against India to be played at Sabina Park.

The explosive veteran batsman Chris Gayle, who hasnā€™t played international cricket since the World T20 final win against England in April 2016, has been named in the one-off T20 international against India on Sunday.


"I want to be the first man to play till 50," the 37-year-old said. "I'd love her to see me play cricket. I want her to just turn up in the stands and watch dad play a game of cricket, I'd love her to actually witness it one day. Age is something, it's a number. It's about the body, when you're young you can get away with a lot of things, you definitely do a lot more partying.


Gayle has made 295 T20s appearances and recently became the first batsman to surpass 10,000 runs in the Twenty20 format.

West Indies Squad: Carlos Brathwaite (capt), Samuel Badree, Ronsford Beaton, Chris Gayle, Evin Lewis, Jason Mohammed, Sunil Narine, Kieron Pollard, Rovman Powell, Marlon Samuels, Jerome Taylor, Chadwick Walton (wk), Kesrick Williams
