BPL franchise Chattogram Challengers announced on Tuesday that West Indies opener Chris Gayle will participate in the upcoming season, but in the second half of the tournament.
“Chris Gayle has a hamstring niggle,” Chattogram’s managing director KM Rifatuzzaman told ESPNCricinfo. “He will need a bit of time to be completely fit. He was always going to play in the BPL and even though we will not have him for the entire campaign, he will be available in the latter part,” he added.
Gayle has played in every season of BPL till now and has appeared for five teams, and has played for Rangpur Riders in the last two seasons.
