In a significant move, West Indies skipper Chris Gayle had rubbished rumors that his side would boycott the rest of the ODI series against England because of another dispute with the national cricket board.

Speaking on this, Gayle said, “There wasn't any threat made about boycotting any games, not to my knowledge. If the game wasn't supposed to go on, I'd be home cocking up my legs now.”
