Sat, Jun 8, '13

Coach of Jamaica's Caribbean Premier League Twenty20 franchise, Paul Nixon, says it is very likely that opener Chris Gayle will be appointed team captain.

Speaking shortly after the tournament's player draft earlier this week, former England wicketkeeper, Nixon, said Gayle possesses qualities that are needed in a leader.

"It's a very good chance that Chris will be our captain. He is a larger-than-life character, experienced, and an inspirational man,"said Nixon.
