The former West Indies captain who was in the city as brand ambassador for the Kerala Cricket League spoke to WCLU on Thursday.

Gayle, who has been out of action for quite a while now since undergoing a surgery to get rid of a long-standing back injury, said his next international match would be the T20 World Cup. "I will be playing the Big Bash though, but as far as international matches are concerned it will be the T20 World Cup next year," he said.

The left-handed explosive batsman couldn't have asked for a better venue than India which has been his favourite hunting ground.

"Oh yeah," he said as he smacked his lips. "I'm looking forward to the T20 World Cup as it is being played in India which is my favourite hunting ground. "It should be a fantastic tournament. We all know what T20 is like so lets see which team will come out on top at the end of the day."

When pushed to answer whether his Test career was at a crossroad, he said, "I would love to play Test matches next year. As of now I can't push myself into Test cricket as I feel I'm not fully there after the surgery."

So would he like to prolong his career in either Tests or 50 overs or T20s like some of the players including Pakistan's Younis Khan (retired from ODIs) and Shoaib Malik (retired from Tests) have done in recent past.

The 36-year-old's reply was. "It all depends on how an individual feels at a particular time. Those guys (Younis) and (Malik) have played a lot of cricket. These things can take a toll on your body so it is only a matter of time when you have to decide to take a call on your playing career.

"Whether it's Test cricket or 50 overs at the end of the day we all have to walk away from the game at some point in time. In my case I'm still looking to play some more international matches in all formats but it's all about fitness. I'm not getting any younger so I need to know how to cope with it. I will have to monitor my body and make a decision."

Gayle refused to be drawn into the controversies surrounding West Indies cricket. The current team will be touring Australia next month sans top players like Gayle, Kieron Pollard, Darren Sammy and Dwayne Bravo after losing a Test series in Sri Lanka.

"It's going to be difficult to play in Australia as we know how dangerous they are playing in home conditions. They beat us at home. But we have to look and see what the boys can take from the series. They have to be positive and grab the opportunity to present themselves in the best possible way."

The surgery might have restricted his movements on the field but when it comes to music there's nothing to stop the strapping 6 feet 4 inch Jamaican from doing the Gangnam dance.

Legendary batsman and former skipper Javed Miandad on Tuesday lashed out at the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), saying that instead of making efforts to make India a sport-loving nation, the BCCI is taking absurd dictations from the Indian government and adopting a ridiculous stance by asking the Pakistan government to initiate talks for resuming bilateral cricket series.

 It is pertinent to mention here that BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur in a recent statement had said that Pakistani government should talk to its Indian counterpart for the resumption of Pakistan-India cric­ket series as it will greatly help in building a conducive atmosphere.

Miandad said it clearly shows how strongly the Indian government influences workings of the BCCI. "The BCCI is not a cricket board but a government's board," he said. "This attitude of India towards other cricketing nations is the beginning of their downfall and the day is not far when India would itself ask Pakistan for a series."
Miandad asked that when Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Shaharyar Khan recently went to India on BCCI's invitation for a meeting, what protocol or help the BCCI or the Indian government provided to him. "That shows that neither the BCCI nor the Indian government is sincere in resumption of the bilateral cricket series," he said.

Miandad added that BCCI officials have got inflated egos now and their attitudes have changed after getting the status among the big three.

"Before big three the ICC used to issue a 10-year Future Tours Programme for all countries but now we don't see that as it is the big three who decide what all other Boards should do, which is such a shame," he lamented.

He pointed out that if the Ashes series can be played regularly without any ego issues affecting it, why not Indo-Pak series. "It is India which does not want it to happen because they are afraid of losing to Pakistan," he said.

Miandad insisted that Pakistan must boycott the World Twenty20 in India next year.

"If respect really matters to the PCB, then it should not send the team to the World T20," he emphasised. "It is a matter of our country's prestige for which India has no regard." - Agencies

Captain of Pakistan's T20 cricket team, Shahid Afridi, on Wednesday linked Pakistan cricket team’s visit to India for playing T20 world cup with provision of security by Indian government and the permission of Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).

"Sports and politics are two separate things", Afridi said while talking to newsmen in Dubai.

He said Ahmed Shehzad would not join today’s practice session, as the he is was not feeling well.

In this article, we are going to talk about most amazing moments in Indian Cricket history and top most achievements for Indian cricket team in Cricket history. And the victory over South Africa in their last match (22-10-2015), the most cruical match with South Africa, we have some other golden moments down below. But first we gonna talk about the India vs South Africa match, and how India won it.

After losing two matches in the row, India got a chance to win the match and make a tie in South Africa vs India ODIs Series. After winning the toss, India choose the batting and gave a pretty good score of 299 to South Africa. And in return South Africa’s player failed to score, because of the amazing spinners India have. Which leads the series score to 2-2, and made a tie.

In 1983, for every nation’s team, India was nothing in compare of performance and everything. But when the world cup 1983 kick-off at England. Indian Cricket team came out like roaring lion and they broke so many records with winning the World Cup trophy. In their final match, India gave an easy target of 183 run to the West Indies in a 60-over. And that match was played in Lords. After few overs of West Indies batting everyone was more shocked to see that they can’t handle the Indian bowling, in the result West Indies team got all out on just 140. This was India’s first ever world cup and one of the proud moments.

One and only Virender Sehwag has smashed 300 runs barrier in Indian Cricket team. In his First test match he scored around 309 runs. And the most interesting part is that he achieved this goal for the first in history with playing against their cricket rivals Pakistan in their home (Multan, 2004). That was the most incredible innings played Sehwag ever played or every cricket fan have ever seen. And in 2008, he scored around 319 runs playing against South Africa in Chennai, India, which was his second triple century and even passing so much time no one ever achieved Sehwag’s achievements yet.

January 17th, 2008, the day every cricket fan has witnessed the history making when Anil Kumble became the first and only Indian bowler and top third in the world cricket to achieve the goal to reach the 600th test wickets landmark. He got his 600^th wicket while playing the test against the Australians in Perth. And in overall Anil Kumble got total 619 test wickets in his career.

The most prestigious moment for Team India before winning World cup 2011, was winning First T20 world Cup 2007. It was same like winning one day Cricket World Cup, which they won in 1983. And the one thing which made this match more interesting was that Indian Cricket team was actually playing against their Rival Team or Country PAKISTAN. But Indian Team won it like a Boss.

Indian Team didn’t win world cup for the first time, they actually hold the World cup in 1983 also. But after 1983 they didn’t win any of the world cup, which makes it more memorable moment for every Cricket Fan. In the finale match Indian team’s captain M.S.Dhoni played the most amazing innings in the cricket history and because of that they won their second world cup on their own home ground.

The 6^th T20 world cup will be played in India from 11^th March to 3^rd April 2016. 2^nd round is the main round of the tournament in which there will be total 10 teams. 1^st eight teams have already qualified for the 2^nd round while the other two teams will make their place in the 2^nd round based on their performance in the 1^st round.
