The World Cup 2019 was supposed to be Caribbean cricketer Chris Gayle's last appearance for West Indies in international cricket. But during a presser, Gayle confirmed that he would continue playing after the tournament, most probably, the clash against India at home would be the time he says goodbye to international cricket.

Gayle seems not to have fulfilled his thirst, or maybe he is getting more thirsty as the explosive batsman revealed in a Reggae Sumfest-produced program that there is a chance of him stretching his career for five more years. 

"Because a lot of people talking, I am going to give them five more years of international cricket," Gayle said.

Windies cricket greats like Curtley Ambrose and Andy Roberts think Gayle should not be given more opportunities in the side. Ambrose went on to say Gayle's decision 'nonsense'. “Let me tell you something, one word; nonsense,” he said.

Roberts agrees with Ambrose, and he said it's time for one of West Indies' great batsman to retire. “Chris has been one of our great players and I make no bones in saying that, but the time has come that we have to let the greatness speak for itself instead of trying to go on to achieve what he didn’t do because most West Indians were hoping that he would do,” he said.
