Chris Gayle left out of T20, first two ODIs against India

At odds with the West Indies Cricket Board, explosive batsman Chris Gayle was today left out of the squads announced for the lone Twenty20 and the first two one-dayers against India starting June 4.


"Chris Gayle will not be considered for selection to the West Indies team before an intended meeting with himself, the Selection Committee, the WICB Management and the West Indies Team Management," the WICB said in a statement.

"The Selection Committee views this meeting as necessary as a result of Gayle's comments in a widely publicised radio interview in Jamaica," it added.

Gayle, who was recently ignored for the series against Pakistan, has had a massive war of words with the WICB after claiming that he was left to fend for himself during recent injury problems. PTI
