West Indies vs Sri Lanka 2021: Chris Gayle set for major landmark in international cricket
The last time Chris Gayle played an international match for the West Indies was way back in August 2019 against the visiting Indian team. If the cricketer gets selected by the West Indies Cricket Board for their home series against Sri Lanka, it will mark his return to the international arena after a gap of almost two years. In doing so, the batting juggernaut will achieve a major landmark, previously achieved by only a handful of cricketers.
If Chris Gayle takes the field for the West Indies against Sri Lanka, he will become the first-ever non-Asian cricketer (and fourth overall) in the world to play international cricket in four different decades. He made his debut for the West Indies back in September 1999. To date, only three cricketers, namely Sachin Tendulkar, Shoaib Malik and Sanath Jayasuriya have achieved this distinction.
