Hope Chris Gayle's Career Doesn't End Due R Sarwan Spat: CWI Chief Ricky Skerrit

Chris Gayle could be penalised with his career facing a possible threat due to his ugly spat with Ramnaresh Sarwan in the Caribbean Premier League (CPL), suggested Cricket West Indies (CWI) chief Ricky Skerrit. Gayle had slammed his former West Indies teammate Ramnaresh Sarwan for his ouster from Jamaica Tallawahs.

“Sarwan, you are worse than the coronavirus right now,” Gayle had said in a video uploaded on his YouTube channel after his move to  St Lucia Zouks.

“What transpired with the Tallawahs, you have a big part to play because you and the owner are like this (very close),” he added.

Chris Gayle has an outstanding career, wouldn’t want it to end: CWI chief Ricky Skerrit

CWI chief Ricky Skerrit believes the matter will not end this early and there might be some sort of discussion going on between Gayle and the CPL. He also hoped it does not effect the career of the swashbuckling West Indies batsman.

“I’m sure there is some kind of discussion taking place at the moment between Chris and the CPL because the CPL has rules which will come into view here because Chris is signed into a franchise team,” Ricky Skerrit was quoted as saying by ‘Jamaica-Gleaner’.

“I hope it doesn’t become a world matter in terms of the career of Mr Gayle, because it’s been a very outstanding career and I really wouldn’t want to see it brought to an end by this event,” he added.

Gayle was one of the finest batsman for Tallawahs and had earlier played a couple of seasons with them.
