Chris Gayle has opted out of the Carribean Premier League 2020, owing to personal reasons. The tournament is scheduled to be hosted solely in Trinidad and Tobago from 18th August to 10th September, although it is pending government approval. Gayle conveyed his decision to St Lucia Zouks, the team he was supposed to play for in this edition of the CPL.

Gayle had previously decided to play for the St Lucia Zouks after a disagreement with his previous franchise, Jamaica Tallawahs.

With over 2,500 runs in the tournament, the ‘Universe Boss’, as the Jamaican refers himself to, is the leading run-getter in the Carribean Premier League.

A CPL spokesperson told ESPNCricinfo that he understood Gayle’s decision. “We understand that Chris has decided to not take part in CPL personal reasons. We wish Chris all the best for the rest of 2020 and hope to see him back at CPL in 2021.”

The Carribean Premier League draft is supposed to be held virtually amid the coronavirus pandemic as there are travel restrictions all over the world.
