Chris Gayle has opted out of the forthcoming CPL 2022 and will instead turn his focus to ‘6ixty’, a T10 tournament that will run from August 24 to 28 in St Kitts, immediately before the CPL season.
Gayle will act as an ambassador for the 6ixty and West Indies players will be available after their ODI series against New Zealand, which finishes on August 21.
Some overseas players are also expected to arrive early to play in the tournament, though a clash with the end of the Hundred’s group stages will rule some out.
Gayle had turned out for St Kitts & Nevis Patriots last year and won the title with them. However, he had missed CPL 2020 for personal reasons.
