Renegades confirmed that they are not going to re-sign Chris

Australia’s Melbourne based Big Bash franchise, Melbourne Renegades, have confirmed that they are not going to re-sign West Indian star batsman, Chris Gayle, for this season’s tournament. Renegades chief executive, Stuart Coventry, said that the club is looking elsewhere to fill its overseas quota. “We’ll unveil our international signings soon and Chris (Gayle) isn’t part of those plans,” Coventry told News Corp.

The decision of the Renegades to not call upon Gayle’s services effectively ends the West Indian hopes of featuring in this season’s

tournament, with the remaining clubs having already signed or having shown no interest in the Jamaican. Dwayne Bravo could be a replacement for Gayle, according to reports. (cricbuzz.com)
