MELBOURNE, Australia, CMC – Cricket Australia has no plans to banish West Indies batting superstar Chris Gayle form the Big Bash League over last season’s ‘don’t blush baby’ controversy.
This was confirmed by CA’s chief executive, James Sutherland, who said anti-corruption was the only basis on which the domestic governing body would seek to exclude a player from the annual Twenty20 league.
“No I think it’s an issue for the clubs themselves,” Sutherland said.
“No matter what anyone at Cricket Australia thought [of the Gayle incident) at management level, board level – I think you’re on a slippery slope if you start making judgements on players who could or shouldn’t be playing in the Big Bash League or in our domestic competitions.”
West Indies star batsman Chris Gayle … free to play in the Big Bash once selected by a club.
