HIGHLIGHTS
- Chris Gayle will retire from international cricket after the home Tests vs India

- Gayle played his last Test for West Indies back in September 2014 vs Bangladesh
West Indies batting star Chris Gayle will retire from international cricket after the home Test series against India in August-September. Gayle is currently playing the World Cup in England.
In February, Gayle had announced the World Cup would the last time he played ODIs for West Indies. He has so far scored 2 half-centuries in England but has not been at his destructive best.
Chris Gayle played the last of his 103 Tests for West Indies back in September 2014. Even with 7214 runs and 15 hundreds in Test cricket, it remains to be seen whether West Indies consider Chris Gayle for a Test series against India, the format's top-ranked team.
Gayle has a career-best of 333 in Test cricket and is one of an elite list of batsmen to have scored a double hundred in ODIs.
However, Chris Gayle is likely to ply his trade in T20 leagues across the format. He is a key player for Kings XI Punjab in the Indian Premier League where he became the fastest to 4000 runs. He is also the only batsman to hit 300 sixes in the IPL.
