Gayle rested for Twenty20!!!!


Chris Gayle who captained the West Indies team in the last test is all set to take rest for the T20 match on Friday. This is to help his recovery from a nagging groin injury. Gayle overcame the problem to appear in the third Test, which Australia won by 87 runs to take a 2-0 series victory, but the West Indies will not risk him in the abbreviated fixture at Barbados' Kensington Oval. The selectors have named Gayle, who scored 14 and 26 over the past week, in the 14-man one-day squad for the five internationals, which begin in St Vincent next Tuesday and finish in St Kitts on July 6. Sewnarine Chattergoon, the opener who injured his ankle while fielding in the Test, was not picked in either outfit.
