Chris Gayle has been ruled out of the two-Test series against Australia in June. His chronic back injury had already ruled him out of the Test series against England at home. He though will play for the Royal Challengers Bangalore in Indian Premiere League (IPL) starting next week.
After the stint for RCB, Gayle is all set to fly to United Kingdom (UK) for a short stint with county side Somerset in England’s domestic T20 season, which finishes on June 13. The second Test against Australia for West Indies at their home will start the very same day which makes it impossible for Gayle to make an appearance in.

“The West Indies team is preparing for a three-Test series against England which starts later this month,” a spokesperson told cricket.com.au. “The start of the Australia Test series is still two months away – almost to the day. As soon as we have confirmation of a squad for the series, we will publicise in the usual manner”, the report said.
