West Indian blazing opener Chris Gayle said on Wednesday that he enjoys coming to Bangladesh to play in the BPL.
Gayle had played in all the seven edition of BPL and said that he enjoys playing in front of the fans as it gives him a high to perform.
‘’It’s a place you want to come and play. Especially after the support you get from the fans, they give you extra drive to do well. They want entertainment in the middle. Sometime it gives you an added boost as a player and being a player I am, that’s my game as well,’’ said Gayle.
‘’So it’s like a mix where both try to entertain as much as possible and I do a bit of fun with them. It has been fantastic over the years playing in Bangladesh and I really enjoyed it. I am just a little bit late this time around but as I said I am looking forward to back as well,’’ he said.
‘’Yeah it is a bit different[ this time in BPL]. It is a little cool at night as well. I only played one game so far. I joined the tournament late due to family commitments and personal commitments as well. There are some new teammates as well, most of the guys I have played with or against as well but we’re teammates now. The team has been doing well, so actually it’s good to be in this position where I can give myself a chance to get set and acclimatize as quickly as possible. The guys have been playing wonderful cricket and are top of the table. It’s actually easy to fit in, make my impact when I get a chance in the second game,’’ he said
Gayle added that Bangladesh should make a four year plan to do well in international cricket.
‘’They are doing better than us in international cricket. Bangladesh cricket has been up and down and we have been through similar things as well. We have tried to get back the consistency by winning more games and winning more series,’’ said Gayle.
‘’Most of the times we lose players and then we have to go back to rebuilding as well. It’s going to be a chop and change just for them to find us some solid set of players and work with those players over the next coming years, and then you can build yourself up and actually give ourselves a chance like England did leading up to the world cup. They have a four-year plan and actually won the World Cup and you can capitalize on that aspect as well where they can set a group and they become like a family and it would be better for them,’’ he said.
