Gayle faces flak after ‘disrespectful’ comments to TV reporter

HOBART, Australia (CMC) – The Big Bash League has blasted comments by Chris Gayle made to a female reporter during a live television interview as “disrespectful and simply inappropriate”, and says it will be meeting with the West Indies star over the matter.

Following his explosive 41 for Melbourne Renegades yesterday at the Bellerive Oval here, Gayle openly flirted with Network TEN’s Mel McLaughlin during the interview, telling her: “I wanted to have an interview with you as well, that’s why I’m here.”

He added: “I get to see your eyes for the first time, it’s nice. Hopefully we can win and go for a drink after.”
