Windies recall Gayle for T20I against India

West Indies have recalled Chris Gayle to their 13-man squad for the one-off T20I against India. The match is set to take place in Gayle's home ground of Sabina Park in Jamaica. Gayle came in at the expense of Lendl Simmons, who scored 6, 17* and 15 in the series against Afghanistan, West Indies' last T20 assignment. Jason Holder, the Test and ODI captain, who did not feature in that series, has been rested again, reports Cricinfo.com.

Gayle last turned out in West Indies colours in the 2016 World T20 final against England at Eden Gardens. 

“We welcome Chris back to the T20 squad. He is the most prolific batsman in this format and will add value to our team.”  Courtney Browne, Cricket West Indies' chairman of selectors, said. 

“He will get the chance to play on his home ground and against a top-quality Indian team.” West Indies are currently engaged in a five-match ODI series that India are leading 2-1
