Veteran superstar Chris Gayle has made a return to the St Kitts and Nevis Patriots team for this year’s Caribbean Premier League, after sitting out last year’s tournament for “personal reasons”.

The 41-year-old spent the 2017 and 2018 seasons with Patriots, and helped them reach their only final in his first year.

Gayle had been named to represent St Lucia Zouks in the 2020 campaign after controversially leaving his native Jamaica Tallawahs, but pulled out just prior to the players draft.

The left-hander, the most successful batsman in T20s, is the second highest scorer in CPL with 2 354 runs at an average of 39, along with four centuries.

He will join forces with veteran West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Bravo, who is set to feature for Patriots for the first time, after leaving his native Trinbago Knight Riders. (CMC)
