Hertfordshire (England), June 9: West Indies hard-hitting batsman Chris Gayle has hailed the Indian Premier League (IPL) as a "fantastic" tournament and urged England cricketers to participate in the cash-rich Twenty20 tournament.
"England has some quality players -- Jos Buttler, Alex Hales, Eoin Morgan, Joe Root -- those guys can hurt you. They are match winners," Gayle was quoted as saying by telegraph.co.uk on Monday.
"Playing against other guys in different competitions would definitely help them. Look at Indian cricket at the moment. They are dominating all forms of the game now and the reason is the IPL," the 35-year-old added.
"The players touch shoulders with their international opponents. They share the same dressing rooms. They know what they are thinking. Then they become bolder, performing for their countries. That is because of IPL and it is fantastic," he said.
The left-handed batsman also came in full support of English exiled batsman Kevin Pietersen, stating him as a perfect entertainer and someone who should be playing for England.
