“I will be very very disappointed not seeing the West Indies in the World Cup here in India” - Chris Gayle

Fitness has never been an issue for this veteran batter. So, it will be interesting to see if he managed to make a comeback again for West Indies. Currently, West Indies are busy playing the ongoing 2023 ODI World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabawe. They have managed to qualify for the super six stage. But, as per the current scenario, they might struggle to qualify for the mega event that is set to take place in India later this year.

I have been a part of Qualifiers before. Sad to be in such a situation. Things have not gone our way going into the Super Six. It is going to be tough. I will be very very disappointed not seeing the West Indies in the World Cup here in India”.

Speaking of his career, he has played 483 games for his country across all three formats. In those games, he has scored 19593 runs, at a strike rate of 77.22. He has also notched 105 fifties and 42 centuries.
