DHAKA, Dec 24, 2019 (BSS) – West Indies superstar Chris Gayle is all set
to reach Dhaka on January 5 to play the Bangabandhu Bangladesh Premier League
(BBPL).
After confusion over his inclusion in the team, the Chattogram
Challengers team management ensured that one of the most successful batsmen
of BPL history would play some matches for them.
“If everything is okay, Gayle is set to reach Dhaka on January 5,”
Chattogram Challengers manager Fahim Muntasir Sumit said.
He added that Gayle would play the last two matches of the group phase
for Chattogram, which is on January 7 and 11.
“It is sure that Gayle will play the last two group matches of us.
Afterwards we’ll discuss about the play-off matches,” he said.
Chattogram now is leading the point table with 10 points from seven
games and they are expected to be the one of four teams to reach play-off
phase.
Gayle who is the record holder of most centuries and most sixes
alongside some other records in the BPL history is now nursing a hamstring
injury. But he is expected to be fit by the time when he will arrive in
Bangladesh.
When he was picked up Chattogram Challengers during the draft, Gayle
complained that he even didn’t know how his name was put up in the BBPL
players’ draft. That created a confusion which later was quelled.
