Chris Gayle’s claim has been dismissed by the West Indies Cricket Board, which claims that he was dropped without being told, insisting that it was the flamboyant batsman, who made himself unavailable for selection before heading off to the lucrative Indian Premier League.
Ernest Hilaire, chief of West Indies Cricket Board states that the Board did all it could to contact Chris Gayle, who suffered an abdominal strain during the World Cup. Gayle was not selected for the ongoing series against Pakistan, and the batsman went on to state that his Team left him with no options, but to join Indian Premier League by not reaching out to him.
Yet, the West Indies Cricket Board disagrees with his claims.
Ernest Hilaire told Line & Length Network, that we can dispel all that Gayle said by releasing the letters and emails. But we should not do that. You communicate with a player, you ask for his opinions, you ask for him to account certain statements; which he made, you ask him what Chris position on certain things is, and you anticipate to be treated with a certain degree of confidence.
Added he states that he is not going to try to prove Chris Gayle as wrong. More importantly, we are very disappointed the way Chris has decided to respond and says that WICB had no complaints against the player, which was proved by the No Objection Certificate, which has been handed for the IPL despite making himself unavailable for the series.
Hilaire also reports, that it did not exactly work out with Chris but when the point came and when Chris said he was not available for selections, we did give him the NOC because it is not about revenge and denying the opportunity.
Hilaire also says that before he flew out for the Indian Premier League, the West Indies Cricket Board thought that Chris Gayle was getting better from injury and once he is back and if he is doing well then we will surely pick him to play for the West Indies team.
