Gayle expects challenging tour to Bangladesh

Veteran opening batsman Chris Gayle believes the forthcoming West Indies tour to Bangladesh of Test and limited overs matches will be challenging. Gayle, who is in a 15-man squad named for the Nov 3 to Dec 12 tour which includes two Tests, five ODIs and one T20, cautioned against complacency. ‘It is going to be a very challenging one. We know how dangerous Bangladesh can be at home. It’s not a team where you want to go there and take lightly,’ Gayle said. A veteran of 93 Tests, 234 ODIs and 30 T20Is, Gayle noted, however, that the majority of the squad would have had a taste of conditions in Bangladesh. ‘Most of the guys have been there before so they have experience. So it should be an interesting series. It’s not the easiest place to tour and get runs so you’ve got to be mindful of the conditions and try to settle down quickly,’ he said.
