Chris Gayle exposed himself to an Australian woman during ICC Cricket World Cup 2015!

West Indies batsman Chris Gayle who is currently facing criticism for his inappropriate comments on Channel 10 lady reporter Mel McLaughlin, had faced a similar criticism when he exposed himself at Sydney in World Cup last year. The Australian woman, who was working around the West Indies team in Sydney, has detailed the incident to Fairfax Media. In the course of her work she entered the team dressing room to get a sandwich as she hadn’t eaten all day, thinking the players were on the field training. Instead, she found Gayle in the room with one other player. Gayle was wrapped in a towel, which she says he pulled down to partially expose his genitals to her while saying to her: “Are you looking for this?” READ: COMPLETE COVERAGE: Chris Gayle sexist remark to Australian journalist controversy

The West Indies team manager, Richie Richardson did not mention Gayle’s name anywhere and sent out a mail to the team demanding to respect women cricket players. The new revelations came as the Melbourne Renegades announced they would fine Gayle USD 7,000 for his controversial live interview with Channel Ten’s Mel McLaughlin on Monday night. Gayle asked an uncomfortable McLaughlin if she wanted to come out for a drink with him, before quickly adding “don’t blush, baby”. On Tuesday morning, Gayle said a half-hearted apology and said his comments had been “blown out of proportion”. Renegades chief executive Stuart Coventry described his comments as a “one-off”. Several other female journalists also came forward to detail inappropriate comments or unwelcome advances by Gayle.

The female employee involved in last year’s incident does not want to be identified, but has explained she was motivated to tell her story after the incident with McLaughlin last night, and to support the many other women working as career professionals in sport who shouldn’t have to put up with this kind of treatment. ALSO READ: Chris Gayle fined USD 7,000 by Melbourne Renegades for inappropriate comments on Mel McLaughlin
