FAREWELL PLANS*
Gayle targets W/Cup, Test in 2019
Superstar opener Chris Gayle has set his sights on on the 2019 World Cup in England and a possible farewell Test, as he targets a return to international cricket for West Indies.
But the Jamaican, who has morphed himself into one of the most globally sought-after T20 specialists, said he was making plans to be a part of the ODI and Test squads again soon.
“I still want to play for West Indies. Whether it will be a farewell Test match but I still want to play a Test match for West Indies as well and I want to play the next 50-over World Cup as well so I’m looking forward to that next year,” Gayle told Massy Insurance’s Line and Length Network.
“That’s in the plans for next year. I’m looking forward to all these things.”
Gayle, a former West Indies captain, has dominated every format of the game throughout his 17-year career. He has compiled 7214 runs from 103 Tests at an average of 42, and is one of only four batsmen in history with two triple centuries.
