3 star players who could retire from international cricket next year

#2 Chris Gayle

Gayle is playing select matches for his country

Christopher Henry Gayle's name has been synonymous with big sixes and quick centuries throughout his career. His big hitting abilities have made him the poster boy of T-20 cricket. He has a contract in almost all the global T-20 competitions and that has forced Gayle to play only select matches for Windies.

He skipped the ongoing India series in favor of the Afghanistan Premier League. His relationship with the Windies Board is also not great due to the payment issues in the past.

All these factors could prompt Gayle to take a call on his international career after the World Cup next year. With Dwayne Bravo announcing retirement from international cricket recently, it will not be a big surprise if the Jamaican follows him. Chris Gayle's exit from the game could leave the West Indies without a senior figure in the team, which could affect their future performances in the game.
