Gayle to play in Zimbabwe

JOHANNESBURG, (Reuters) – Former   West Indies captain Chris Gayle,  involved in a protracted dispute with his national board, will  play in Zimbabwe’s domestic T20 competition at the end of  November, officials said today.
Gayle, 31, has not played for West Indies since a World Cup  quarter-final in March and the board (WICB) issued a statement  last month saying the batsman would be considered for West  Indies selection again only if he retracted statements about the  board and their officials.
The left-hander responded by asking the board to “state  clearly” what he should apologise for.
Gayle will play for the Matabeleland Tuskers in the T20  tournament from Nov. 25 to Dec. 4.
“I am a cricketer and I want to play,” Gayle said in a  statement. “I would rather be playing for the West Indies but  while that’s not possible I want to use my time wisely,  entertain some people and try to do some good.”
