Gayle back as Windies captain to tour Australia

Updated at: 1050 PST, Tuesday, November 03, 2009

TRINIDAD: Chris Gayle was reinstated as West Indies captain to lead a full-strength squad on a three-test tour of Australia later this month.

The 30-year-old Jamaican was appointed after he and other leading players had withdrawn from a home series against Bangladesh in July and the Champions Trophy in September due to a long-standing contract conflict with the West Indies Cricket Board.

Only four players that made themselves available during the strike action – all rounder Darren Sammy, batsman Travis Dowlin and fast bowlers Kemar Roach and Gavin Tonge were selected to tour Australia from November 18.

Gayle, who has played 82 tests, will open the batting with 19-year-old Adrian Barath, the only player in the squad without international experience.
