Gayle back to captaincy

By Nomava Nobumba

Chris Gayle has been reinstated as West Indies captain to lead a full-strength squad on a three-Test tour of Australia later this month.

The 30-year-old Jamaican was appointed after he and other leading players had withdrawn from a home series against Bangladesh in July and the Champions Trophy in South Africa in September due to a long-standing contract conflict with the West Indies Cricket Board.

Gayle, who has played 82 tests, will open the batting with 19-year-old Adrian Barath, the only player in the squad without international experience.
