Sri Lanka in West Indies 2007-08 Gayle retained as West Indies captain March 6, 2008
Chris Gayle has been retained as West Indies captain for the upcoming home series against Sri Lanka in March, which involves two Tests and three one-day internationals. Gayle has recovered from a hamstring injury and broken thumb that he sustained in South Africa and the selectors decided to name him as captain ahead of Ramnaresh Sarwan. Gayle was given the captaincy for the tour of South Africa in December 2007 because Sarwan was injured and he led West Indies to their first Test victory in South Africa in Port Elizabeth. However, he had to return home before the third Test because of a hamstring injury and a broken thumb and missed the one-day series that followed after the Tests. "I heard from Sarwan. He called me and congratulated me and we talked and so on," Gayle told CMC Sports. "There is no noise between us or anything like that. This thing won't affect us or get between us. But he did call me and I appreciate that." Sri Lanka's tour of the West Indies will be their first since 2003 when they lost the Tests 0-1 but won the ODIs 2-1. Australia are scheduled to tour the Caribbean in May, after Sri Lanka complete their tour. © Cricinfo
