team india should sign chris gayle into team india for T20 or 1 day or tests like how kevin peitersen was signed up by england team and so on, why delay.
when Ken. Rosewell and Lew Hoad turned professional, there was an outcry, for, they were ineligible to represent their country in international events including Wimbleton.
the table was turned when all the premier tounaments within a decade permitted professional tennis players.
the same will be the case with west indies cricket board. Gayle is not holding the post of a prime minister or the prseident of his country. he has to earn his dollars and living during his playing years which are limited. playing in IPL provides him with straightforward way of earning it. that is better than many other test cricket players are accused off.
he has done much better than all the money spent by their countries towards foreign relations and to improve the image Carribians in India at zero cost to them.
we may not know who is the premiers of their countries but we know Gayle. he carries with us, a very good impression of his people and countrymen. let their board not sully it.
west indies has become the first victim of IPL and had pakis been given a chance to play whole team would be playing ipl and sit at home whole year.even our own indian team players given a chance will ignore tests and play only ipl.ipl instead of improving cricket is burying cricket.
Gayle was not that a good cricketer, he is much talked about only after the IPL 2011, but what about previous IPLs, even Paul Walthaty performed very well this year.
