West Indies pin hopes on Gayle

-

THE recall of Chris Gayle to the West Indies ODI squad, for the first time since the 2015 World Cup, has dominated the countdown to the upcoming five-match series against England.

Gayle, one of the biggest draws in the game, is likely to make his first appearance against Ireland today.

He arrived with the 15-man squad in Northern Ireland on Monday after the West Indies board announced an amnesty which has also seen the return of Marlon Samuels and Jerome Taylor.

Samuels last played in October but was dropped the following month.

Gayle played in a T20 game against India in July, but this ODI will be his first since 2015.
