Gayle not taking Bangladesh lightly ? Cricket News Update
Talismanic West Indies opener Chris Gayle, on Monday said that they would not take the Bengali Tigers lightly in any format of the game, as the Caribbean contingent gears up for next month?s tour of Bangladesh.
The rampaging West Indies cricket team, fresh from the ICC World T20 triumph in Sri Lanka, is scheduled to tour another sub-continent nation, Bangladesh, between November 3 and December 12 for a full fledged series.
The Windies will play two Tests, five One Day Internationals and a one-off T20 International during their more than a month long tour of Bangladesh, and Gayle warned his teammates against complacency saying the Tigers could be a tough team to play at home.
?It is going to be a very challenging one. We know how dangerous Bangladesh can be at home. It's not a team where you want to go there and take lightly,? said Gayle, who returned to the West Indian fold in June this year, after ending his more than a year long feud with the West Indies Cricket Board (WICB).
?You've got to be mindful of the conditions and try and add up as quickly as possible and settle as much and whenever you get a chance, just try and maintain it and take it from there,? he added further.
Gayle has been outstanding with the bat since returning to the international cricket in June. In 18 matches played across all the three formats since his comeback, he has scored 865 runs at an impressive average of 57.66, including two centuries.
The explosive Jamaican left-hander is one of the eight batsmen, including the recalled Kirk Edwards and Darren Bravo, in the 15-man touring party named on Sunday. Nine members in the squad, including skipper Darren Sammy and prolific top-order batsman Marlon Samuels, toured Bangladesh last year, when they won both the ODI and Test series.
Gayle hoped the experience of having played in the Bangla conditions would prove to be handy for them in the forthcoming itinerary.
"Most of the guys have been there before in Test series and in ODIs so most of the guys have experience, so it should be an interesting series," added Gayle.
