Usain Bolt turns to cricket

The fastest man in the world will be joining Chris Gayle, Curtly Ambrose, Courtney Walsh, and several other past and present West Indian cricket stars in a one day Pro 15/15 cricket tournament in Discovery Bay on Sunday, October 18th. This is the second such event, led by Chris Gayle and sponsored by Digicel, in which mixed teams of local youth cricketers and celebrities compete together.

In the Digicel press release Bolt is quoted as saying "in terms of sport, cricket is my first love. I grew up watching cricketers like Courtney Walsh take the West Indies to new heights – and I am a big admirer of Chris Gayle for his power batting and calm attitude; he is my favourite player right now. So, to have the chance to play with these guys is a dream come true for me".
