The way is now clear for estranged batsman and former West Indies captain Chris Gayle to be back in West Indies colours. This was confirmed in a release issued on Wednesday by the Head of the Caricom Sub Committee on Cricket Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer.
A statement of resolution signed by West Indies Cricket Board President Julian Hunte, Chris Gayle and PM Spencer said, “Both sides admit that their respective shortcomings contributed to the debilitating impasse and its prolonged nature and resolved to bring it to an end.”
how many Dominican Cricketers that on W.I starting line up?

Love you Gayle – We welcome you back with open arms. Go Windies!
you all are so dumb de forgo his contract with somersetn yet u say he doh want to play 4 westindies your idiot
I thought the west indies cricket board was smarter than Gayle….lol I cannot stand the west indies board for what they are doing to west indies cricket but Gayle is playing them like a piano. Gayle is only considering coming back because he needs his letter to play in the IPL and if he refuse to play for the west indies this time around he have to retire and stay 2 yrs out of cricket. He is worried about his money and age …..go figure
Gayle is nothing more than a selfcentered undiciplined young man. He most likely grew up in an environment where there was no respect for authority. He needs to recognise the
This guy should be seen for who he is. He is an egocentric meniac who thinks West Indies cricket revolves around him. He most likely grew up in an environment withdrawn from authority. He needs to know who is the BoSS and recognise him as the BoSS.
There is only one batsman that every bowler on every cricket team truly fears!!! Chris Gayle can have them begging for mercy and feeling embarassed as he blasts boundary after boundary,,say what you want but he is still One of the most destructive batsmen in the world!
hurray hurray
They seem to be making this guy bigger than the game, what if he was dead in that process of finding a solution
It seems most are missing the point, this is no longer about cricket or the love for it, it is about money and Gayle in a WIndies shirt means more money for the WICB that is all that matters, like him or not he can sell off a stadium in quick time.
He needs to be pushed back out. He will be a great distraction. He stands for nothing but money.He has no interest in test cricket, he is lazy and was diffident as captain. Just why is he returning. Returning for what?
Good thing is that coach Gibson and my good friends on the board like Hilaire and company will not put up to his arrogance and pompous nature.Gayle my brother you are not welcomed on this present team.
respect gayle boy!
people just running allu mouth – who you think Gayle is standing up for – for his rights and all the players on the WI team now and to come rights – hush, listen and think before allu run allu mouth.
Rights what. Gayle stands for nothing.And he is no better than any other player on this team.In fact i would not have dropped any of the players on the one day team to make a place for him. Is he bigger than the sport?
IT WAS TIME!!!! YES! Now I can finally go see a WI Cricket Game again. Now fire all those on the WICB.
Gayle’s return will be an unecessary distraction for the WI team.
He and Ottis Gibson will not get along.
Gayle should concentrate on making his money in fete matches (that’s how I see 20/20 cricket) around the world and leave space on the team for younger more committed players.
Bringing back Gayele us a very bad move that the WI Board will live to regret.
i respect your point on the younger players ,but keeping out gayle is like keeping out kobe bryant from the lakers basketball team,you need a strong hand for two reasons,1 to encourage your young players,2 you got a reputation to live up to,you can not doubt that westindies got some big shoes feel in,i do not have to spell them out,we all know the big names,and really gayle fits that profile
I totally agree to your comments , Gayle thinks he is now bigger than west indies cricket and can hold the team at ransom . That should not be allowed . Because he is a millionaire our money is too small for him. Just analyze his performance when he is playing for big money games for other teams to when he is playing for WI. Two different levels of commitment and performance. I think Gayle has done his share for west indies and should be left alone. Recycling Gayle is going to make it more difficult for up coming stars like our own Kavem. Gayles return is going to destabilize our young and upcoming team , look how far we have come, even beating Australia. Are we going to eat our vomit now. shame.
nuff respect CG. You did wat u had to do. In a year time u will be the world’s #1 bat in all forms of the game.
I don’t have any personal bias against Chris Gale but I am of the opinion that his heart is not in the West Indies camp. When he is batting on a West Indies team he produces 20’s and 30’s but when he is playing where the big money is, he is transformed into a beast who is destroying the bowling attack. Hummm. You people judge for yourselves when he starts batting for the Windies again. Some may not agree with me now, but you will agree with me in the end.
this is what i am trying to say,money makes jumbie dance,the west indies cricket high time got to realise that this is a proffesional job,find a way to pay this guys better incentives,they have wives and children depending on them.
The WICB is making millions from companies like sky. They are getting paid the same money that every other international team get paid for broadcasting. They share it among themselves. That’s why they cannot pay the players. The rest the players don’t get is lost due to bad management of funds. West indies makes good money, every international cricket supporter supports their team and then west indies. And Add the Caribbean to that, with good marketing we could probably make even more cash. But giving the players head ache is higher on the agenda than promoting the team and making it a successful world brand
Welcome back Chris Gayle Great Asset to Windies
nuff respect my Broda..We missed ya!!!
Cricket
after reading a number comments posted here on chris gayle,some people i am left to wonder where are they getting there facts from,there is a big conflict as to gayle actions,to which i just dont see,in fact it’s a totall contradiction,he made a statement conserning the cricket governing boad,some people seem to have it like he totally has no right to speak his mind,what some people fail to realize is that,there was a series of events leading up to that statement,for example there was a contract issue,players being under paid,which is a fact westindies players are lowest paid players in the world,grown men who got there families to feed,i wonder how they suppose to do that,when all they do is play cricket for a living,anyway as far as i can remember is one thing lead to a next,statements were made in the aftermath,but who know as to what caused what transpired to take shape,we are on the outside looking in,and yet still blasting gayle,when actaully they are the ones who are in the kitchen,as far as i see all this comments are biased,i am not into this big and small island thing at this point,westindies needs all it’s talented batsmen and best players at this point in time,and to be quite frank,gayle is the best batsman in the westindies today,cut the man some slack,you guys are choking him up,it would not be pretty for you guys with that stupid looks on you all faces,when he shows what westindies cricket spirit is all about,get over it folks.
Gibson has moulded these young players to work as a team and I believe Gayle will be a distraction. Gayle can only foster one good innings per test he is injury prone as well so let him take a hike we are doing well without him thank you
Tend to agree; think he should be restricted to the ODI and T20 version of the game.
I totally agree. In fact this man is more a jinx and hindrance to the team now than an asset.
dont you think you guy are putting the cart before the horse,why dont you all wait and see how this plays out.
Good for you Chris..I’m so attracted to this brotha.Yeah he not outright cute, but if you take a minute the brotha is sexy and raunchy like many black men. No I don’t like pretty boys.. Excuse me folks just having fun!
Gayle does not worth the West indies team a crap. Let the team build up under Sammy. Gayle had his fair chance. He proved that he was useless.Let him sit on the bench all the time.
WELCOME BACK I SURE MISS YOU I WILL BE WATCHING THE RETURN GAME.
It is about time somebody had come up against the WICB and in some ways I take this as a win. I hope this sets a precedent and they realise that players must be treated with respect. This has been going in since around 2005 between board and player with the board practically ruling with an iron fist like gadaffi. Cricket is not gayle’s nor the board’s nor caricom. It is ours! I believe he will perform better now and we definitely need him to do so up the order since our runs seem to start from five down. The young lads need both Gayle and sammy on point to round up the troops with bravo and continue on the path. Every single international bowler trembles when Gayle is at the wicket. Don’t let us down boy.
“I meant since 1995 between board and players” And by the way, it is not all sammy’s doing why the team is performing. Gibson has a vision and a way of creatin teams and competition for places on the squad. That is where wi have changed in the last year.
Gayle my foot> He is useless to the team. He should stay out.
They should make him sit on the bench and carry water for the real players who are concerned about West Indies cricket. This man is all about money and he does not care a d– about the sport of cricket.DON’T PICK HIM! HE IS A WASTE OF TIME!
If he is part of the team that is supposed to be in Dominica, I am waiting to see if his return will lead West Indies to victory against the Aussie. If not then Chris Gayle is just full of wind as his name says.
No he is not coming to Dominica. He already signed a contract with the IPL team in India. Will return to the West Indies as soon as he is done in India
Read the documents http://windiesfans.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1283:pm-spencer-announces-end-of-impasse-between-wicb-and-chris-gayle&catid=1:latest-news&Itemid=50 ,
He may be part of the England tour as he is giving or willing to give up his county contract. But he will not miss his IPL games for the West Indies games.
Gayle’s absence from the Windies team was testimony that the sport does not revolve around him. The game is bigger than any one individual player. Hope he calls it a day and never decides to play for the Windies again, because he will definitely be a distraction.
RALLY ROUND THE WEST INDIES NOW AND FOR EVERMORE.
@ %
like West Indies was doing extremely well without Gayle – right?? J*$% A###
Those of you all that’s saying we are doing good without Sir Chris Gayle, you all a wrong, it was just 20/20 and one day. we need somebody to hold down the Aussie with Chandrapaul, Bravo and the rest . the Aussie are trembling. Sir Gayle WELCOME BACK LONG AWAITED.
i will take this opportunity to call all of u ppl that are sayin that wi doin well FOOLS! the guys just lost a one day series they suppose to win 4:1 or 5:0 they go loose it 2:2… a match with 1 run to get and 3 balls to get it they cant win that any other tea would have won this even DSC. would have won that match and wi did not so how are they doin well…. STUPES!!!
LOL stop embarasing yourself Do you follow cricket? If you did then you will not talk like that learn the game
smarty we use to lost by bigger margins when gayle was thr , so we are improving. When last we drew a series with a top team like australia. lol. smarty
gayle needs to humble! he better not mess with sammy cuz i’m seeing some improvement! [SOME]
As much as i like Gayle i am not sure this is the best move at this juncture in WI cricket!!! Not the strongest team but the working more like a team lately
@massacre i support your comment over 350%, all i want to know now is who they going to drop for Gayle sake? What about Sammy, i think he is doing great as captain will they replace him for Gayle sake? and finally will Gayle co-operate with Sammy?
Gayle is too full of himself and personally when he returns i stop supporting!!!! When WI was at its’ lowest what did Gayle as captain do, pull a strike and caused Bangladesh to beat us in Dominica!!! I would fire mister longtime.
“Gayle is too full of himself and personally when he returns i stop supporting!!!! When WI was at its’ lowest what did Gayle as captain do, pull a strike and caused Bangladesh to beat us in Dominica!!! I would fire mister longtime.”
good point there.
But i’m not holding my breath on his return. Seeing is believing for me
STUPES!!!this man behaving like he is God’s gift to the game of cricket.dude is very ill-disciplined and cannot be tamed.wicb created a monster and allowed gayle to ride all over them and all but hold west indies cricket at ransome.dude should take a leaf from greats like:bradman,sachin,fleming,gavaskar,sobers et tal who were greater and more humble cricketers than him!!!!
Back in action, at long last. Go Indies go.
westindies doing well without gayle.let him remain in IPL
Which part west Indies doing well? Compared to what we were we are nothing now! We need all the help we can get. This should have been resolved long ago… Nut alas men and their egos!
