‘Gayle willing to apologise’

KINGSTON ( Jamaica): The long-standing feud between Chris Gayle and the West Indies Cricket Board could finally end as the WICB wants to meet him again after Players’ Association vice-president Wavell Hinds said the batsman is willing to apologise if needed.
The feud originally started when Gayle criticised the WICB for leaving him in a lurch during his injury problems.
But after months of bickering, the WICB has written to Gayle again stating that “the June 14 meeting failed, as the discussions were repeatedly diverted to peripheral issues instead of being focussed on finding a constructive solution to the matter before us”.
“However, the Board does recognise your contributions to West Indies cricket and remains available to meet with you so that we can bring some resolution to this matter,” WICB chief Ernest Hilaire said.
The latest letter comes after Hinds said Gayle was willing to explain himself and even apologise.
“He (Gayle) is prepared to answer the charges as honestly as he can and if there is a need to say sorry, I think he will say sorry,” Hinds said. (PTI)
