Gayle called his Ramnaresh Sarwan  “worse than coronavirus”, after his exit from Jamaica Tallawahs. Later, The 40-year-old joined St Lucia Zouks in the Caribbean Premier League for the 2020 season.

“I’m sure there is some kind of discussion taking place at the moment between Chris and the CPL. That’s  because the CPL rules will come into view here.  because Chris is signed into a franchise team. I hope it doesn’t become a world matter in terms of the career of Mr. Gayle. He has been a very outstanding career and I really wouldn’t want to see it brought to an end by this event,” Skerrit said.

“It’s certainly not something that I enjoyed looking at or reading about …. Personally, I think that was unfortunate. But the process will have to take its course. That process will get triggered because he is a contracted player in the CPL within the West Indies league. If a player is contracted to a club or a franchise or to Cricket West Indies … that kind of behaviour brings that contract into some level of disrepute,” Skerritt said.
