MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) Former West Indies captain Chris Gayle hopes to return to test cricket next year after a two-year absence.
The 36-year-old Gayle told reporters Tuesday in Australia - where he is playing in the Twenty20 Big Bash League - that he hopes to be injury free and able to bolster a struggling West Indies lineup in 2016.
He said a back injury had prevented him playing for the West Indies who were mauled by Australia in a test in Hobart last week, though he continues to play in lucrative Twenty 20 competitions.
Gayle said ''there's no way I could have actually been part of that test team, I'm just coming back from injury. Next year hopefully test cricket is on the agenda.''
