THE reconciliation meeting may have gone completely awry but the West Indies Cricket Board refuses to give up on Chris Gayle even after dropping him from the Test squad for the series against India starting tomorrow.
After a stormy showdown with the WICB officials, Gayle’s cricketing future looks bleak but the explosive batsman can expect another letter from the board very soon to chart a way forward and end the feud which started after he accused the administrators of ignoring him during injury problems.
The decision to write to Gayle was taken at a WICB meeting on Friday, just a few days after the two parties had an angry spat ironically during a reconciliation meeting to sort out the differences.
“As the board meeting was on Friday June 17, it was proposed that the WICB management would write Gayle after the meeting to outline the way forward,” the WICB said.
