West Indian blazing opener Chris Gayle said on Thursday that he is eyeing to play cricket for next five years.

His decision implies that the left-handed batsman is willing to play till 45 years and he insisted to talk about his retirement plan when he reaches that phase of his life.

 ‘’A lot of people still want to see Chris Gayle out in the middle. I still have that love for the game and that passion for the game. I would love to carry on as long as possible in T20 and franchise cricket as well. I still play a few games here and there around the world because I still think I have a lot to offer,’’ Gayle told reporters at the BCB academy premises after completing his net session for Challengers on Thursday.

‘’The body is feeling good and I am sure I am getting younger as the days go so I am looking forward to it.

‘’45 is a good number. Lets’ talk at 45. I think that’s a good number and my first number,’’ he said.
