 Friday, March 27 – Bridgetwon, Barbados: West Indies Captain Chris Gayle says no off-field issues will distract his team from hunting an important win against England in the pivotal 3rd Digicel One-Day International when the Digicel Series resumes at Kensington Oval on Friday.
In the past two days, representatives from the West Indies Players’ Association (WIPA) and the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB) have been meeting to discuss players’ concerns on a number of issues.
But Gayle says he and his players will be focused on Friday’s match: “We are all professional. I made it very clear to the players. When our guys step across the rope, we are all ready for cricket.
“We are all big men here so we have to take responsibility in whatever we do. At the same time, when it’s cricket, we are ready for the game of cricket. This won’t affect our game.” |
