The Master Blaster, Sir Vivian Richards is siding with Sir Curtly Ambrose in the latter’s public spat with the Universe Boss Chris Gayle.

Gayle, this week, lashed out at the fast-bowling great, who said Gayle is not an automatic choice for selection in the West Indies team that will begin the defence of their ICC World T20 title on October 23 against England in Dubai.

Ambrose, speaking on Mason and Guest in Barbados, said Gayle has not had the best of form in a long time and would not walk into a team he would select.

“No, he (Gayle) is not an automatic choice for me. The few home series just played, he had no scores of significance, and I have said before that if he did not do well in those home series, he should not go to the World Cup,” Ambrose said.

No, he should not and will not go after Viv because Viv respected him and Ambrose didn't. But it sure disheartening to see how fellow west Indians are going after Chris as if he is from the opposing team and they trying to demoralize him. Though Viv's words were well measured but I don't see the need for him to get involved at this time period.

Chris Gayle just represented the St. Kitts Patriot and his presence on the team played a significant role in 2021 CPL trophy. Why didn't they go after him when he was playing for their franchise? I just find so many of those small Islanders in particular are after Chris Gayle and the selectors. Is there someone from Antigua or one of the small islands that should have been picked instead of Gayle?
