PORT Of SPAIN: West Indies opening batsman, Chris Gayle, is likely to retract his resignation as captain of West Indies cricket team following urgent requests from board president Julian Hunte. Gayle, who was handed captaincy of regional team for a limited-overs tour of England and Ireland last year, faxed a letter tendering his resignation to West Indies Cricket Board last week. Hard-hitting left-hander also led team in away series against South Africa, which home team won 2-1, and retained top post for home series against Sri Lanka, which ended in a 1-1 draw in April. However, he was reportedly not happy with WICB’’s selection policy and openly criticised the body, specifically over their experimenting with squad for home series against Australia in Mayand June. West Indies lost three-Test series 0-2 and beaten 5-0 in ODI series. Gayle said he was in talks with WICB president, but nothing concrete had been decided at that point. “We”re talking and we”ll see what happens.” Hunte has made representation on behalf of senior players who want Gayle to retract his resignation.
